This April Fool's Joke Comes with a Tasty Surprise

— March 31, 2014 — Art & Design

While the big, outrageous pranks are the ones that get all the attention on April Fool's, the small ones can be just as fun and often have their own little perks. The Examiner has come up with a prank that looks exactly like a bowl of tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich; what it actually is though is a delicious cake and chilled strawberry soup.

The recipe is easy to make and to the untrained eye, both the soup and the sandwich cake look exactly like their real counterparts. April's Fool's jokes can be harsh and hilarious but they can also just be fun and delicious.
