Notes

For best results, dirt cake should be stored in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. If the dirt cake has any toppings or decorations, such as gummy worms, you can remove them before storing and add them back on top of the cake when ready to serve.
