Peeps Sunflower Cake

Mom will be so disappointed but this is using prepackaged everything.  But, it's just too cool to complain about.  Too bad you're on a diet and avoiding sugar...cuz this is gonna be tasty!  Almost too cute to eat....almost. =)

Ingredients:
  • 1 package (18 1/4 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1 16 oz can of dark chocolate frosting (you may want more depending on how much you love frosting - original recipe called for 2 cans but 1 can worked perfectly for me)
  • 19 yellow chick Peeps
  • semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:
  • Prepare and bake cake according to package.  Using the two 9inch round baking pans.  Cool for about 10 minutes and remove from pans to wire rack to completely cool.
  • Spread frosting between layers and over top and sides of cake.
  • Without separating Peeps and curving them slightly to fit, arrange chicks around the edge of the cake for sunflower petals.  For sunflower seeds, arrange chocolate chips in concentric circles in center of cake.
Note: once you place the Peeps you've placed the Peeps!  Same goes for the chocolate chips - if you pull them up because you decided it would look better if you did that - forgetaboutit! - you'll rip up the frosting and you're Peeps won't stick now.  Decide. Place. Live with it!!! =)

Final note: if you don't like Peeps - I do. I do! Give them to me!

Have fun & ENJOY!!!
