How To: Make a Round Plex Cake!

Goodness, Plex is popular! For good reason, I'm sure: Plex is often the voice of reason and has amazing magic powers!

Soulmom is the creator of this cute Plex cake!

Recipe:
One box each of the Pillsbury 50% less sugar cake mix of vanilla and devil's food made into 9" round pans. (To make them lower fat I substituted apple sauce instead of oil in the mix.)

One tub of the "Pillsbury 50% Less Sugar Chocolate Fudge Frosting" in between the cake layers.

Two tubs of the "Pillsbury 50% Less Sugar Vanilla Frosting" - one with yellow food coloring for the outer frosting and one for the eyes. (I ended up with a ton of white frosting left. i had intended to use more of it but had another idea instead.)

One tube of Black cake decorating frosting for the face and writing on top and to paint the antennas.

For the accents:

Antennas - Cocoa Crispies cereal straws painted with black frosting

Antenna ball - red Tootsie Pop sucker - it fit perfectly inside the cereal straw (I had been stumped for a while about what to use...i had this epiphany when i was at the store in the middle of the night while i was waiting for layers to cool and realized I needed frosting for between the cake layers.)

Side antenna fittings and top cap - powdered doughnuts attached with toothpicks.
