Macaroni Menu: Spring/Easter Peep Cake

By Aimee Falso, Kent RI Publisher March 26, 2015

This cute cake is perfect for Easter or anytime this spring!  It is a big hit with both kids and adults.

Ingredients:

  • Box cake mix (and ingredients called for on box)
  • Food coloring
  • Frosting (homemade or store-bought)
  • Bunny Peeps in assorted colors
  • Jelly beans, candy-coated chocolate eggs, or any other cake decorations you desire!

Directions:

  • Mix cake ingredients as directed on box.
  • Separate batter to make two 8" or 9" round cakes.
  • Color each layer of cake with food coloring (we did one blue and one green).
  • Bake cake as directed and let cool.
  • Layer cakes on top of each other with a layer of frosting in-between. (You may need to cut off the top of the bottom layer so the top one lays flat.)
  • Cover entire cake with frosting.
  • Place alternating colored Peeps around the sides of cake.
  • Decorate top of cake with remaining candy treats.
  • Enjoy!
