Peeps Sunflower Cake

Peeps Sunflower Cake Recipe

Ingredients:
1 pkg. yellow cake mix (regular size)
2 cans (16 oz. each) chocolate frosting
19 yellow chick Peeps candies
1 1/2 c. semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:
Prepare and bake cake mix according to package directions, using 2 parchment paper-lined and greased 9 inch round baking pans.  Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks; remove paper.  Cool completely.

If cake layers have rounded tops, trip with a long serrated knife to make level.  Spread frosting between layers and over top and sides of cake.

For petals, arrange Peeps around edge of cake, curing slightly and being careful not to separate chicks.  For sunflower seeds, arrange chocolate chips in center of cake.
