Ingredients
- 2 boxes cake mix with ingredients listed on the box
- 2 cans chocolate buttercream frosting or make from scratch or make from scratch with this recipe
- 25-30 Peeps multiple colors. I like to use the 5-color assortment.
- 1 family size bag of Easter m&m's 1 pound or larger
Instructions
- Using your favorite cake recipe, bake two 9-inch round cakes.
- Take out 2 cans of frosting - or make a batch of my favorite homemade frosting
- Once the cakes have cooled, frost the top of one cake. Then place the other cake on top of the frosting. Now frost the entire double-decker cake. Transfer your cake to a cute cake platter!
- Take Easter marshmallow bunny peeps and stick them to the side of the cake in a colorful pattern.
- Pour a big bag of Easter M&M’s all over the top of your cake until you’ve covered up all that yummy chocolate frosting.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Chill the frosted cake in the fridge for 30 minutes. This helps the frosting to set and stay in place.
- Use a cake lifter to lift and move your cake. It’s like a giant metal spatula you slide underneath your cake.
