Grease a 17×11 inch rimmed cookie sheet. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Return cake to oven, and bake until marshmallows are puffed and golden, about 3 minutes. Remove cake from oven, and gently press Nilla wafers into marshmallows. Pour icing over wafers, and spread icing evenly across cake. Let cake cool to room temperature before cutting and serving. This cake is better once it has had a chance to sit for a while so that the cookies can soften
