This recipe found on the Subtle Revelry blog reminds us of a classic recess time snack and cereal from back in the day. This three-tiered cake is a tasty and creative rendition of traditional Rice Krispies squares, perfect for making an original impression at parties or gatherings.
The cake is essentially three giant round rice cereal snacks stacked on top of each other, then decorated with frosting and topped off with drizzles of Rice Krispies cereal.
