PEEPS SUNFLOWER CAKE



Peeps Sunflower Cake image

The inspiration for this cake came from one of my favorite flowers, the sunflower. The yellow peeps make eye-catching flower petals, and I carefully placed chocolate chips in a circular pattern to resemble the seeds in the middle of a sunflower. This cake is easy, but looks quite impressive. -Bethany Eledge, Cleveland, Tennessee
