Lunar Landing Cake

Here's a cute cake, I love the Teddy Bear on top, though you could also substitute small toy figurines, as well (just be careful as they could present a choking hazard).

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Special Extra

Write a birthday message on small piece of paper. Then, attach to toothpick and insert into cake.

Lunar Lake

Add a lunar lake by cutting out a 1-1/2-inch deep by 2-inch-wide well in center of top of assembled cake before frosting with remaining COOL WHIP mixture. Insert a JELL-O X-Treme Blue Raspberry Gelatin Flavor Snack in hole. Decorate with remaining ingredients as directed.

Make Ahead

Cake can be decorated ahead of time. Just add cookie decorations just before before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.
