    Recipe




    Heat oven to 350° F (175º C).

    Refrigerate 1/3 of Cool Whip.

    Return remaining Cool Whip to freezer. Prepare cake batter; blend in dry pudding mix.

    Bake as directed on pkg. for 2 (9") round layers.

    Cool cakes in pans 10 minutes; invert onto wire racks.

    Cool completely.

    Mix 2 tbsp. confectioners' sugar and milk. Brush onto wafers.

    Microwave frozen Cool Whip and chopped chocolate on High 1-1/2 minute, until chocolate is melted, stirring after 1 minute.

    Cool 15 minutes to thicken.

    Beat cream cheese and 1/4 cup sugar with whisk until well blended.

    Stir in cherries and thawed Cool Whip.

    Stack cake layers on plate, filling with cream cheese mixture.

    Frost with chocolate mixture.

    Decorate with wafers and remaining ingredients to resemble drum and sticks on top.

    Keep leftovers refrigerated.

    Makes 10 servings.


    Notes: Size-Wise: Looking for something to serve at a tea party? This recipe serves 8-12, so you can freeze leftovers for another special occasion.

    Substitute: Prepare as directed, using 6 squares Baker's Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate.
