Ok there are 2 recipes you can use to do this kind of cake one is called Dirt Cake one is Kitty litter.
for Halloween the dirt cake works really well, instead of putting it in a flower pot I just put it in a metal rectangle cake pan, then I put those gummy worms poking up out of the "dirt" you can also get those little plastic RIP headstones to put on it or even small plastic skeletons.
Dirt Cake
1 (16-ounce) package chocolate cream-filled cookies
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

3 cups milk
1 (12-ounce) container non-dairy whipped topping, thawed
1 new (8-inch) diameter flower pot, washed and dried
1 new garden trowel, washed and dried
Plastic flowers, cleaned and dried
3 large gummy worms
1. Crush cookies until they resemble potting soil, set aside.
2. Cream butter, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth and
fluffy. Set aside.
3. Combine pudding mix and milk until well blended, fold in the whipped topping.
4. Gently fold cream cheese and pudding mixture together.

Here is the kitty litter one.
KITTY LITTER CAKE
1 (18.25 ounce) package German chocolate cake mix
1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (12 ounce) package vanilla sandwich cookies
3 drops green food coloring
1 (12 ounce) package tootsie rolls
Prepare cake mixes and bake according to package directions (any size pan).
Prepare pudding according to package directions and chill until ready to assemble.
Crumble sandwich cookies in small batches in a food processor, scraping often. Set aside all but 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup add a few drops of green food coloring and mix.
When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble them into a large bowl. Toss with 1/2 of the remaining cookie crumbs, and the chilled pudding. You probably won't need all of the pudding, you want the cake to be just moist, not soggy.
Line kitty litter box with the kitty litter liner. Put cake mixture into box.
Put half of the unwrapped tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until softened. Shape the ends so that they are no longer blunt, and curve the tootsie rolls slightly. Bury tootsie rolls randomly in the cake and sprinkle with half of the remaining cookie crumbs. Sprinkle a small amount of the green colored cookie crumbs lightly over the top.
Heat 3 or 4 of the tootsie rolls in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake and sprinkle lightly with some of the green cookie crumbs. Heat the remaining tootsie rolls until pliable and shape as before. Spread all but one randomly over top of cake mixture. Sprinkle with any remaining cookie crumbs. Hang the remaining tootsie roll over side of litter box and sprinkle with a few green cookie crumbs. Serve with the pooper scooper for a gross Halloween dessert.
it is very disgusting looking LOL you can do this in a deep oven pan instead of the litter box if you don't want to get that graphic!
