I made the cake a few years ago. The first time I was at work it was my co-worker’s birthday. The only ingredients we had on hand were a Honey Bun and cookies. I made it from scratch off the top of my head, thinking if this is all we have, maybe this is something we can do. It just came to me to combine the icing, leave the Honey Bun at the center and make a type of dough with the cookies.

The cakes are not difficult to make, but the first time you make it, it’s going to be a mess. The biggest issue I see, and I’ve experienced myself many times is adding too much water. I try to point out that you can always add more water, but you can’t take it out. If you put too much, it becomes mushy, and the whole cake is ruined. Other than that, it’s just molding it. Some people mold it and it comes out sloppy.

Making the cakes themselves is pretty simple once you get the hang of it, but expect the first one to be a fail, and the second one to be the one that comes out right.

🔥 Ronald’s Commissary Kitchen: Rice Party & Fish Patties 🔥

Ronald | SCI Fayette
Some folks cook for fun, some for survival, I do both. My Mom (may she rest in peace) taught me how to throw down in the kitchen, and I've been feeding people ever since. Holidays, Super Bowl, that's banana pudding and pizza bagels. But today, we're talking about my Rice Party and Fish Patties meals made with what I got, no oven, no stovetop, just creativity and a stinger. If I was home, I'd toss the rice on a sheet pan and bake it, but busted means making it work with what I got. Improvisation is the name of the game when what's served ain't cutting it. My love for food, my Mom, and my appreciation for good meals keep me inspired. Stay hungry, stay creative.
