OH MY GOSH! Been there! lol
get a huge clear glass bowl, take the cakes and cut into bite size pcs. (scrape off gobs of frosting, you dont need to salvage all the cake, you just want the cake parts)Start to layer in the bowl, (forget frosting! it will kill you!) add: cake bites, strawberries, cool whip or whip cream, then the other cake bites (w/ choc cake I would drizzle a LITTLE choc sauce or choc like hersheys for making choc milk), another fruit (buy whatever is cheapest, I can usu find pineapple and banannas on sale) cool whip til u reach the top of the bowl. cover w/ whip & sprinkle w/ toasted coconut.
for an adult only cake, when you layer in the cake bites sprinkle cake w/ a little rum or orange liqueur
always think out of the (cake) box lol! share t

I love to bake and usually bake from scratch. I baked a chocolate cake from the recipe on the Hersheys cocoa can. What a disaster that was. It stuck to the pan and was a mess. I cut it into chunks and layered it in a trifle bowl with Cool Whip, chocolate pudding and the cake then sprinkled english toffee bits on the top. Nobody except my husband knew about the disaster of the cake and why I made this dessert instead. Cake balls mentioned in other posts are great also.

I made a cake years ago using a new recipe. When I took it out of the oven, it went totally flat and would not come out of the pan. I scraped it all into a bowl and looked at the recipe again. Comparing it to other recipes, I realized it was short 1 cup of flour. I made another and it came out beautiful. I frosted and decorated it. In the end, I threw most of the pretty cake out because everyone wanted the crumbs in the bowl. They were extra moist and tasted great - no frosting needed.
