Ingredients
  

  • 1 Box Yellow Vanilla Cake Mix
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1/3 Cup Vegitable oil
  • 1 Cup Water
  • 3 Cups Frosting
  • 2 Bags Circus animal cookies

Instructions
 

  • Mix the cake ingredients per the directions on your box. Grease and fill your pan with the cake mix.
  • Take 1 cup of the frosted animal cookies and place in a small plastic bag. Use a mallet to crush into small pieces. Sprinkle the cookie crumbs over the cake before placing into the oven.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes at 350, based on your pan size and box directions. Allow to cool fully.
  • Starting at the bottom of the cake and working up, place the animal cookies in rows along the cake.
  • Repeat until the entire cake is covered, filling the top and all the sides. Stick a couple candles in the cake for a simple and super sweet birthday cake solution.

Notes

To get a good stick on the circus animal cookies, use the knife to put a small dab of frosting on the back of each cookie. Think of this as birthday cake glue!
