Halloween Vegan Kitty Litter Cake

I started making Halloween things last year and it grew popular, So I'm keeping the tradition going.
This is a basic vegan chocolate cake recipe HERE! but I poked holes into the cake after it cooled and gave it a good drizzle of Kahlua (is vegan) to soak up.
I used the glaze from the same recipe and then added Nice biscuits (is vegan) crushed on top, For the little poops I used Oreos (are vegan in AU) crushed with some tofutti cream cheese mixed and made by hand. Enjoy!  =)
