Rated 5 out of 5 by dijeankapp from This is our favorite family special occasion cake. This is our favorite family special occasion cake. It has been around for a long time, My mother made it the first time in 1961,for my 14th. birthday party. Mom is no longer with us, but I carry on the tradition. The only way we have ever made it with a devils food cake with seven minute frosting or seafoam frosting, decorated with M7M's and licorice whip for antenna with a browm M&M on the butt and a few trailing behind.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DCgonzo99 from Made this for my daughters Birthday Sleepover. Made this for my daughters Birthday Sleepover. Came out good, with no issues. Only that my daughter does not like Coconut so I did not use. Just dyed the coolwhip and sprinkled with hearts and used shortbread mini cookies covered with chocolate. Also used chocolate for the antennas. Great recipe!!!
