All the recipes I found were way too complicated, so I had to wing it. Here's what I did:
I ended up using my vanilla pound cake recipe, which is great on it's own, but a little heavy with the rest of the components. A simple vanilla cake would have been good, the Betty Crocker cookbook has a good one I'm sure.
I baked it in a cookie sheet, trimmed the edges into small "plain" pieces. Then I cut the whole thing down the middle and slathered it with Lime Curd (made just like my Lemon curd, but with Lime, a drop of green food coloring, and I used all the zest for extra flavor). I stacked the two halves, sprinkled with green sugar, piped Reddi Whip in stripes, and sprinkled mini chocolate chips elsewhere.
Thankfully we did just have a meat cleaver lying around for theatrical cutting. The parents that had some all thought the cake was good, but the kids either weren't hungry, or didn't like the look or taste of it. No one asked for a piece of plain cake so I'm going to assume they weren't hungry.
Now, for the Frobscottle, my little one and I decided Ice Cream Floats would be good. So one 1/2 gallon of Vanilla Breyers, and some good sodas like Virgil's Root Beer and Izze Sparkling Juice, these were very popular.
