PEEPS SUNFLOWER CAKE
The inspiration for this cake came from one of my favorite flowers, the sunflower. The yellow peeps make eye-catching flower petals, and I carefully placed chocolate chips in a circular pattern to resemble the seeds in the middle of a sunflower. This cake is easy, but looks quite impressive. -Bethany Eledge, Cleveland, Tennessee

- Prepare, bake, and cool cake as directed for two 8x1/2-inch or 9x1 1/2-inch round cake pans. Using a serrated knife, cut one of the cake layers into six or eight wedges. Trim the rounded side of each wedge to make a triangle. Place the second cake layer on a large, flat serving platter. Arrange wedges, pointed tips out, around cake layer.
- Meanwhile, prepare frosting. Tint two-thirds of the frosting using orange paste food coloring. Spread tops and sides of round cake and cake triangles with orange frosting for the flower center and outer petals. Tint remaining frosting yellow. Separate 8 or 9 ladyfingers. Frost ladyfinger halves with yellow frosting; sprinkle with yellow nonpareils or other sprinkles. Arrange ladyfinger halves around center of flower for inner petals.
- Sprinkle center of flower with miniature semisweet chocolate pieces of chocolate-flavor sprinkles to resemble sunflower seeds. To create a flower stem, on a surface sprinkled with granulated sugar, use your hands to roll a large green gumdrop into a rope. Flatten and cut additional large green gumdrops into leaf shapes; tuck stem under flower and press leaves onto stem. For bees, use your hands to shape yellow gumdrops into oblong shapes. Insert sliced almonds into gumdrops for wings. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip with chocolate or black tinted frosting. Pipe stripes onto bees; arrange bees on flower.
