Wow! This gigantic berry is a sweet way to celebrate spring.
Prep time: 15 min.
Baking time: 28-31 min.
Decoration time: 30 min.
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
What to do:
  1. Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions, and bake in the 2 cake pans.
  2. 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.
  3. Tint the vanilla frosting with the red food coloring to the desired shade, and frost the entire cake.
  4. Separate the yellow STARBURST® Brand Jellybeans Fruit & Crème from the rest of the package, and arrange them on the cake.
  5. 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.
