11 April Fools Day Pranks

1. Frozen cereal

This is my all time favorite prank for kids. It’s easy, not messy, and tricks them every time. All you need to do is pour a bowl of cereal and stick it in the freezer over night. Don’t forget the spoon!

2. Brown E’s

All you need to do for this brownie prank is cut a few letter “E”‘s out of brown construction paper. I taped a 7 E’s to the bottom of our usual brownie pan and put the lid on it. My kids were not amused, but I thought it was hilarious!

3. Bacon and eggs

Unlike my brownie prank, this is an April Fool’s trick your kids will love! For details on how to make candy bacon and eggs out of white chocolate and caramels, check out Making Memories with Your Kids.
 

4. Donuts

These meat loaf donuts complete with beet tinted mashed potato “icing” is sure to get a giggle! Find the details at Rosy Cheeks.

5. Meat Loaf Cake

Instead of meatloaf donuts, consider making a meatloaf cake for an April Fool’s Day dinner. The meatloaf cake even has a Worcestershire glaze between each layer. Yum? Find more at Black Widow Bakery.

6. Kitty Litter Cake

The kitty litter cake wins the grossest April Fools Day prank in my book. German chocolate kitty cake, anyone? Find the kitty litter cake tutorial at Kristian Hoffman.

7. Spaghetti and Meatballs

These spaghetti and meatball cupcakes look and taste amazing! The meatball is a Ferrero Rocher chocolate covered in strawberry preserves. I love the addition of the grated white chocolate for a Parmesan lookalike. For more details, check out Delectable Edibles.

8. Grilled cheese

This is another dinner idea turned desert that actually looks delicious. Instead of bread and cheese, she uses pound cake and frosting! For the complete fake out grilled cheese and tomato soup recipe, check out Nellie Bellie.
