April Fools’ Day Food Pranks

Celebrate this quirky holiday with a little taste bud trickery.

Grilled Cheese

This sandwich look-alike is actually toasted pound cake with cheese-inspired, golden-colored icing. One bite, and guests will quickly realize this isn’t the melty, savory treat they were expecting.

Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

This classic comfort food is actually smashed cheesecake topped with caramel sauce. Friends and family are in for a sweet surprise when they realize their savory side dish is a dessert in disguise.

Brussels Sprouts Pops

These “cake pops” aren’t exactly what they appear to be. Cleverly disguised with chocolate and sprinkles, these Brussels sprouts will catch veggie lovers (and avoiders) off guard with their sneaky presentation.
