Ingredients
1 package yellow cake mix (regular size)
2 cans (16 ounces each) chocolate frosting
19 to 20 yellow chick Peeps candies
1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Prepare and bake cake mix according to package directions, using two parchment paper-lined and greased 9-in. round baking pans. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks; remove paper. Cool completely.
If cake layers have rounded tops, trim with a long serrated knife to make level. Spread frosting between layers and over top and sides of cake.
For petals, arrange Peeps around edge of cake, curving slightly and being careful not to separate chicks. For sunflower seeds, arrange chocolate chips in center of cake. Yield: 12 servings.

We actually haven't eaten it yet, but it's more the decorating idea than the recipe that is being showcased. I imagine it will taste like yellow cake with chocolate frosting, It was kind of hard to make the Peeps into a circle, as evidenced in the picture. I only used 18 Peeps and one can of frosting. I think it's pretty cute.
Good job! I'm glad you actually made it. I was just trying to convince Joanna to make the "fancy" cake recipe I put in her file. I have kind of always wanted to try this too, because it is really cute and really easy.
ReplyDeleteI've seen this before somewhere else and thought it was an awesome idea.
ReplyDeleteI also have the pink cat cake with pound cake and twinkies...maybe for Camille's birthday.
