submitted by: Bright Ideas
  • Prep Time: 15 min.
  • Bake Time: 28-31 min.
  • Decoration Time: 30-45 min.
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Yield: Makes 16 servings.

Ingredients

  • 10 pieces STARBURST® Fruit Chews
  • ¾ cup SKITTLES® Bite Size Candies
  • 1 box (18.25 oz.) favorite cake mix
  • 1 can (16 oz. each) vanilla frosting
  • Yellow food coloring
  • 5 sugar cones
  • ¼ cup yellow decorator’s sugar
  • 2 tablespoons yellow decorator’s sugar
  • Serrated knife
  • Resealable plastic bag

Directions

  • 1. Bake the cake mix in two 8-inch layers, according to the directions on the package. Freeze one layer for another time.
  • 2. Place 2 tablespoons of frosting into a resealable plastic bag. Snip 1/4 inch off one corner. Set aside. Tint the remaining frosting with a few drops of yellow food coloring.
  • 3. Spread the cake layer with the yellow frosting; set aside.
  • 4. Trim the sugar cones as follows: Using a serrated knife, trim 1 inch off two cones; then trim 1-1/2 inches off two cones. Keep one cone untouched.
  • 5. Cover the cones with a thin layer of yellow frosting; then roll them in the yellow decorator’s sugar.
  • 6. To make the crown: Using the picture as a guide, place the cones on the edge of the cake. Begin by placing the uncut cone on the cake. Then, on either side of it, place the cones cut 1-1/2 inch, and finally place the cones cut 1 inch.
  • 7. Pipe a ring of white frosting around the bottom of the cones.
  • 8. Press the SKITTLES® Bite Size Candies along the entire bottom edge of the cake.
  • 9. Press the STARBURST® Fruit Chews into the side of the cake, turning them so that they look like a diamond.
  • 10. Dab the SKITTLES® Bite Size Candies with frosting, and dot them around the sides of the cake.
  • 11. Dab the SKITTLES® Bite Size Candies with frosting, and place one on each point.
  • 12. Tip: This recipe makes a "golden" crown. For a pink one, use red food coloring in steps 2-5 and pink decorator’s sugar in step 5.
