April Fools' Bagel: Doughnut Sandwich

This "everything bagel" is really a cake doughnut brushed with honey and sprinkled with chopped chocolate-toffee bits. It's got all the fixins: smoked salmon (thinly-sliced papaya), cream cheese (frosting), tomato (red gummy candy) and scallions (green gummy candy).

April Fools' Crab Cake: Fried Ice Cream

Cut into these delicious-looking "crab cakes" and instead of jumbo lump, you'll find vanilla ice cream. The sweet crispy crust is made from bread and shredded coconut. Serve them with a side of pistachio-white chocolate "tartar" sauce.

April Fools' Lasagna: Banana Pudding Cake

There are no noodles in this "lasagna", just layers of pound cake, vanilla pudding, bananas and strawberry jam. Shaved white chocolate, crushed vanilla wafers and chopped mint leaves make up the "cheesy" topping.

April Fools' Sushi: Rice Krispies Nuggets

Rice Krispies treats replace sticky rice for this fun faux-sushi, and gummy candy stands in for raw fish. Serve it with condiments of soy sauce (chocolate syrup), ginger (pink coconut), and wasabi (pistachio paste).
