We all {love} snacks — some of us probably snack a little healthier than others {hee-hee}.  Fruit, Vegetables, French Fries, Chips, Popcorn, etc.  Snack come in all shapes, sizes and calorie counts.  Yesterday I shared a fun Back to School Craft with edible Pencil Treats.  Today I thought I’d share a fun twist for an afternoon or after school snack: Cake Fries!  These faux fries would also make a fun dessert that I’m sure the whole family will go wild over.

A few months ago, I was getting lost on Pinterest (I’m sure you can relate) and saw some faux fries.  I was like, “huh?”  Of course I clicked through to find they were cake fries made from pound cake.  Surprisingly enough, they’ve been around for quite some time. Upon Googling it, I saw posts from 2009.  Regardless, I had to make them and share them with you.  Why?  Well, your kids and/or family will LOVE them and it’s super fun!  If I was a mommy, I’m pretty sure I’d have these in the queue for an afternoon snack!  I loved that Sweet and Crumby made them for an April Fools Day prank on her family.  I thought that was awesome!  Anywho, let’s get to some snacking fun with these warm and crunchy cake fries!

Cake Fries.  A fun snack with livelaughrowe.com Faux French Fries with livelaughrowe.comSounds easy enough right?  I did try making a Tastefully Simple Pound Cake for this; however, it wasn’t dense enough to see the crinkle cuts, so  I used a frozen Sara Lee Pound Cake.   You also might want to try this yummy Raspberry Sauce instead of the ‘ketchup.’

I never imagined pound cake tasting so yummy warm.  It was tasty and the ‘ketchup’ added that extra bit of sweetness.  Enjoy!

I’ll be partying {here and here}.
