April 1st is the greatest “holiday” ever celebrated by twisted parents! My parents have had their fair share of tormenting me as a child and teenager, so I figure it is time to start with my own children. There is nothing better than coming home from school to yummy cupcakes waiting for you.
Especially when your Mom and Dad tell you that in honor of April Fools Day we will be having dessert first!
They have the COOLEST parents EVER!!! 🙂
Well… for 3 min. you have the coolest parents in the world! Until you bite in a realize it isn’t chocolate cake and frosting but mashed potatoes and meatloaf!
Oh yea, and the fruit punch is really jello. It only looks like it is drinkable!
Do you have any good April Fools pranks or jokes you have played on your kids??
For the “cupcakes”:
Make your regular meatloaf, bake it in cupcake tins. I drained the grease off when they were done and put them in foil cupcake holders. Then I made mashed potatoes and divided them into 3 bowls. I added food color to make them look like frosting. Then with a frosting bag “decorated” the tops of the meatloaf. I think the “display” part is the key! My kids really thought they were yummy cupcakes!
For the “fruit punch”:
Just get clear plastic cups and make your favorite jello. Put in a straw when liquid and let them set up in the fridge. Again, until they went to drink them they thought they were real drinks! It was funny!

Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.
Self proclaimed, she would be a webkinz dog. Because, "they're cute, and puppies are too. And they're sweet and they always get along with other puppies."
This mini-Martha Stewart can handle ANY craft you send her way. She isn't all bows and rainbows, she's got karate kid moves!
Not "Pick-Me-Up" like caffeine, she wants you to pick her up! AND NOW!
Anything that can be destroyed WILL be destroyed!
Practically Perfect in Every Way for now! Nicknamed "The Panda" she is rolly polly and lives by the motto, "the little one, is KING!"
The resident Labradoodle, Miller got his name because Mom won and got to name the baby! Need something chewed up? He'll take care of it. Especially if it's expensive..
This is awesome! Still cracking up – and trying to figure out who to pull this on. Coworkers be warned!
Is it bad that I think these would be tasty ANY day of the week!?
I am loving this! I read it to my husband and we have both laughed so long at this!! It is the best! So glad to see fun creative parents! I bet your kids had a blast!
Did this tonight! Kids were shocked! Youngest not happy and would not eat cupcakes or drink jello! It was soooo fun! Thanks for the ideas!
You are a sick, sick, sick woman…..I love it!!!!
Don’t forget to call officer Rodriguez
One year I carefully opened a bag of Cheetos (kid’s favorite), dumped the Cheetos, replaced it with tortilla chips, dropped a strip of paper saying “Happy April Fool’s Day!” and re-sealed the bag with double-sided tape. My kid was the hit of the school lunch room and I was the cool mom of the day. 🙂
