Difficulty: Moderate
What you'll need:
- 1 bag STARBURST® Brand Jellybeans Fruit & Crème
- 1 bag STARBURST® Brand Tropical Fruit Chews
- 2 12-oz. containers whipped vanilla frosting
- 1 18-oz. box your favorite cake mix
- 1 cup strawberry jam
- Red food coloring, paste or gel (found in your grocery's baking area)
- 2 8-inch round cake pans
- Rolling pin
- Printable tempate 1
- Printable template 2
What to do:
- Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions, and bake in the 2 cake pans.
- Let the cakes cool to room temperature. Using the two cakes as layers, sandwich the strawberry jam inside. Then, using printable template 1 and a knife, trim the jam-filled cake into a strawberry shape.
- Tint the vanilla frosting with the red food coloring to the desired shade, and frost the entire cake.
- Separate the yellow STARBURST® Brand Jellybeans Fruit & Crème from the rest of the package, and arrange them on the cake.
- Select and unwrap 14 green STARBURST® Brand Tropical Fruit Chews. Soften them in the microwave for 3 to 4 seconds, then mold them into one piece with your fingers, and slightly flatten it. Using a rolling pin, roll out the flattened STARBURST® piece until wafer thin. Then, using printable template 2 as your guide, cut two leaves out of the mold with a knife. Gather up the STARBURST® trimmings and form them into a stem. Place the 2 leaves and the stem at the top of the cake.
Tip: You can also use heart-shaped cake pans.
