Steps:
- Cake:.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and coat a 9" x 13" baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- *NOTE: Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions; I'm required to list the ingredients needed to prepare the mix (eggs water, and oil) but yours may be different.
- Place 1 cup of the cake batter in a small bowl and stir in 1/8 teaspoon green food color; mix well.
- Pour the remaining batter into the baking pan and drop the colored batter by spoonfuls into the batter in the baking pan and swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.
- Bake according to package directions; Cool completely then invert onto a serving platter.
- Frosting:.
- In a medium bowl, combine one container of frosting with the remaining 4 drops green food color; mix well.
- Lightly frost the entire cake with green frosting then heavily frost the top one-third of the cake lengthwise with the remaining green frosting.
- Assembly:.
- Cut the Twinkies in half lengthwise and place the top halves on the lightly frosted cake section, slightly overlapping the heavily frosted section.
- Frost the Twinkies and the bottom two-thirds and sides of the cake with the remaining container of cream cheese frosting to look like a blanket that covers the Twinkies (the "bodies").
- Place a flattened marshmallow to look like a pillow above each Twinkie on the green frosted part of the cake.
- Decorate the wafers with decorative icing to make hair, eyes, and mouths; Attach the decorated wafers to the marshmallow pillows with leftover frosting.
- Using the decorative icing, make a ruffle around the edges of the blanket; Sprinkle the blanket with decorative sprinkles; serve.
- (If making ahead of time, place toothpicks in the corners and lightly cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve.).
- NOTE: Use more or fewer Twinkies on your cake, depending on how many "slumbering guests" will be attending your slumber party!

Tips:
- Choose the Right Cake Mix: Select a cake mix that complements the theme of your slumber party. Funfetti, chocolate, vanilla, and red velvet are popular choices.
- Prepare the Cake Batter: Follow the instructions on the cake mix box to prepare the batter. Make sure to mix it thoroughly until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Add Your Own Twist: To make your cake unique, consider adding your own personal touch. You can incorporate sprinkles, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts into the batter.
- Bake the Cake Properly: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix box. Bake the cake for the recommended time, keeping an eye on it to prevent overbaking.
- Cool the Cake Completely: Once the cake is done baking, let it cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
- Choose Your Frosting Wisely: Select a frosting that pairs well with the flavor of your cake. Popular options include chocolate ganache, buttercream, cream cheese frosting, and whipped cream.
- Decorate Creatively: Use your imagination to decorate the cake in a way that matches the slumber party theme. You can use sprinkles, candies, fondant, or edible glitter to create a festive look.

With careful planning and creativity, you can create a show-stopping slumber party cake that will be the highlight of the party. Remember to choose a cake mix and frosting that complement each other, and don't be afraid to add your personal touch to make the cake unique. With a little effort, you can create a delicious and visually appealing cake that will be enjoyed by all your slumber party guests.
