Create this pretty rainbow dreidel cake using crushed fruit loops as “edible sand.” I love that making the sand is a fun and entertaining activity in itself.
Use your favorite cake recipe or you can even purchase ready-made sheet cake at your local bakery. You can cut one large cake or you can make a smaller one for each child.
You will need:
- Fruit loops
- Gallon-size freezer ziptop bags
- Frosted cake, cut into a dreidel shape (a firm cake that is flat on top will work best)
Directions:
Sort the colors into separate bowls. (This is a great activity for the little ones.)
Place each color in a separate bag.
Release the air and crush until finely ground. You can use a rolling pin to help crush them.
Use the colored “sand” to create a pretty pattern on your dreidel cake.

amazing activity! We did this at a chanukah party, I crushed the fruit loops in the food processor and we decorated chanukah shaped cookies. (we spread duncan hines frosting on them)
