Peeps Sunflower Cake
Ingredients
1 yellow cake mix regular size
2 cans 16 ounces each chocolate frosting
19 to 20 yellow chick Peeps candies
112 cups semisweet chocolate chips assorted sizes
Directions
Prepare and bake cake mix according to package directions using two parchmentlined and greased 9in. 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.
Test Kitchen Tips
Thick frosting tends to tear cake. For easier spreading try thinning it with 12 teaspoons water.
Tweezers come in handy when arranging chocolate chips.
Keeping Peeps connected works great for decorating this cake. But you can also cut them apart and arrange individual chicks around the cakes perimeter. Either method yields an adorable result.
