Steps:
- 1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- 2. Greese and flour a 14 inch round cake pan and a medium size oven proof bowl and set aside.
- 3. Mix cake mix's according to directions and fill the round pan half full and the bowl about 2 inches from the rim. (you will have extra cake mix left) I made cup cakes with it.
- 4. Place pan and bowl in oven on center rack and bake until golden brown or when a wooded toothpick pushed down in the center of cake comes out clean. (the round cake will be done before the cake in the bowl)
- 5. Remove round cake from oven and place on a wire rack to completely cool. After testing cake in the bowl; remove from oven and place on wire rack to cool.
- 6. When round cake is completely cool remove from pan onto a very large platter or a large piece of cardboard covered with foil.
- 7. Meanwhile mix icing in mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
- 8. Cover round cake with a thin layer of icing and place the bowl cake in the center of it and cover with icing also.
- 9. (Since I'm not good at making my icing smooth when covering cakes; I used a flower decorating tip to cover the cake. This to me is also an easy way to cover any cracks that may accure).
- 10. Decorate as desired or use my pattern. HAPPY EASTER!
