     Former U.S. President James Madison's wife did not create this baking   
     company, despite the fact that her name is on every carrot cake, crumb   
     cake, and Zinger that comes off the production line. It was instead   
     company founder Roy Nafziger's brainstorm to use the former first   
     lady's name, since she was notorious for throwing huge shindigs   
     featuring a fine selection of desserts and baked goods. Nafziger said   
     his company would create cakes "fine enough to serve at the White   
     House." While I don't expect you'll be treated to a tray of Zingers   
     on your next stay in the Lincoln Bedroom, I will agree that these   
     little snack cakes are a tasty way to appease a sweet tooth. You can   
     craft a version at home by making little cake pans out of aluminum   
     foil that is wrapped around an empty prescription pill bottle. The   
     cake batter is easy, since you just use any instant devil's food cake   
     mix. I like Duncan Hines, but you can use whatever you want. As for   
     the frosting, it may not come out as dark brown as the original since   
     the recipe here doesn't include brown food coloring (caramel   
     coloring). But the taste will be right on. And I think President   
     Clinton would agree that as long as the sweet little treats taste   
     good, appearance is secondary.   
      
     Tear off a bunch of foil pieces about this size. These will be your   
     mini cake pans after folding two times and wrapping around a pill   
     bottle.   
      
     Empty prescription medicine bottles are actually good for something.   
      
     Use a toothpick or skewer to dig three caverns in the cakes where the   
     filling will live. Later you will cleverly hide these holes with   
     frosting.   
      
     Prepare the cake batter following the directions on the box. If you   
     use Duncan Hines brand, you will need 1-1/3 cups water, 1/2 cup oil,   
     and 3 eggs. Preheat oven to 350?F.   
      
     To prepare the cake pans that will make cakes the size of Zingers,   
     tear off 20 pieces of aluminum foil that are each about 8" wide. Fold   
     the foil in half and then in half once more so that you have a   
     rectangular piece of foil. Wrap this piece of foil around a small   
     prescription medicine bottle. Tuck in the ends and take the bottle   
     out, leaving the foil open at the top. This will form a little pan.   
     Flatten the bottom so that the mini pan stands up straight. Place   
     this into a baking pan and repeat with the remaining pieces of foil.   
     When you have arranged all of the foil pans in a baking pan, spray   
     the inside of all the pans with non-stick cooking spray. Fill each   
     little pan about halfway with cake batter. Bake cakes for 15 to 17   
     minutes or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean.   
     Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool completely.   
      
     To make the filling, combine the hot water with the salt in a small   
     bowl and stir until the salt is dissolved. Let this mixture cool.   
      
     Combine the marshmallow creme, shortening, powdered sugar, and   
     vanilla in a medium bowl and mix well with an electric mixer on high   
     speed until fluffy. Add the salt mixture to the bowl and mix.   
      
     To make the chocolate frosting, combine all the frosting ingredients   
     in a medium bowl and mix well with an electric mixer until smooth.   
      
     To assemble your snack cakes first poke three holes with a toothpick   
     or skewer in the top of a cake and swirl around inside the holes   
     making little caverns for your filling.   
      
     Use a pastry bag with a small tip to squeeze some filling into each   
     hole. Careful not to overfill, or your cake will burst open. Sure,   
     it's exciting, but this mess won't make for a good clone.   
      
     Once the cake is filled, use a butter knife to spread frosting on top   
     of the cake over the holes. Drag a fork lengthwise over the frosting   
     making grooves just like the real thing.
