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

• 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

• 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.
