Is it a cake or is it a salad?? This cake could fool even the most strict vegetarian.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cake mix - any flavor
• 1 tub of whipped topping
• 1 recipie of fondant
• green, orange and red food coloring

1. Bake cake according to direction in a metal salad bowl - it may take additional baking time.
   Remove cake from bowl and allow to cool - divide cake into 2 and frost with whipped topping and put back in metal bowl.

2. Make or buy fondant - you can find a tasty recipie for homemade fondant on the internet.
   Color the fondant red, orange and green (don't knead the green fully for a more varigated look)

3. Roll a thin layer of green fondant and cover cake. To make lettuce leaves make a small ball, flatten it and ruffle the edges. To make the carrots make small finger shapes and add small slashes. Finally make small tomatoes with the red fondant. Add the lettuce leaves first the all the rest of the "veggies".

4. Presentation would not be complete without a pair of salad tongs.
