Peeps Cake

Peeps Cake from Cake Central

I saw this Easter cake on Pinterest and decided to make it for Easter!

The cake comes from Kayleesgrammy on Cake Central.

I made a Duncan Hines Orange Supreme cake and frosted it with Classic White frosting.

Decorated with Bunny Peeps, and topped with Easter M-n-M's.

I made the mistake of frosting and covering my cake the night before I decorated. 

Then the Bunnies wouldn't adhere. 

I recommend decorating with the Bunnies immediately after frosting. 

I ended up purchasing another tub of frosting to stick the Bunnies on.

It worked fine!

Waaaay too sweet for me, but the kids at our Easter dinner liked it!

I had never tried the Orange Supreme cake mix before - it was good. 

I think it would be good with crushed pineapple.

Valentine Chex Mix

Valentine Chex Mix

I adapted this recipe for a Valentines theme from an old recipe I had.

My boys loved it, and the ladies who came to my birthday party did as well.

It would be perfect for any holiday, just changing up the colors.

I started by melting peanut butter, margarine and white baking chips together, then mixing it together with Rice Chex cereal.  Stir carefully so the cereal doesn't crush and crumble.

Then I transferred about 1/2 of the cereal mixture to a large Ziploc bag and add powdered sugar.  I tossed it around to coat well. 

Optional:  For more Valentines color, you can add red, white, and pink sprinkles when you toss it together.

I mixed the other half of the cereal mixture with Valentines M-n-M's.

Then I laid both mixtures out to cool for half an hour or so.

Then combine and store in an airtight container until you're ready to serve!
