It was a hit. Turned out exactly like photo. It took two hours from start to finish allowing for cooling time. I used large bittersweet chips and filled in with semisweet mini chips and then sprinkled leftover peeps sugar on top. You have to separate the peeps to get the roundness. My cake took 18 Peeps. I used box yellow mix doctored with vanilla pudding mix, extra egg etc. Like in recipes you can search to improve a cake mix Used chocolate marshmallow frosting in can and added 1\/2 tsp vanilla extract. It needs two cans. I sliced the cake along side each separated peeps which made for thin slices but was plenty since it is sweet. If you still had the Peeps connected slicing would be more difficult for sure.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2019-03-15","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"PurpleTooth"},"reviewBody":"Since I fell in love with peeps when I was a child, I instantly decided to make this cake, I cooked last night and served it today to my sewing group at lunch. Many compliments came my way. My variations: spice flavor cake mix. My granddaughter taught me to use applesauce instead of oil in a cake mix. I used one 9 inch cake pan and a second 5 inch pan (for home). I made my own frosting from melted choc chips and butter stirred with confectioners sugar, a blop of milk and teeny bit of nutmeg. My peeps stayed right where I applied them. I used a thin blade serrated knife to separate them. They fanned out around the cake edge . I used green food coloring mixed in \" White Shimmer Sugar\" and sprinkled it around the bottom of the cake. My old arthritis fingers took an hour to apply the chips to both of the cakes. I was so excited about them, it didn't matter! Big success at meeting today! Can' t wait to make them for our grandchildren next.

Test Kitchen Tips<\/b>\r\n

  • Thick frosting tends to tear cake. For easier spreading, try thinning it with 1-2 teaspoons water.<\/li>\r\n
  • Tweezers come in handy when arranging chocolate chips.<\/li>\r\n
  • Keeping Peeps connected works great for decorating this cake. But you can also cut them apart and arrange individual chicks around the cake's perimeter. Either method yields an adorable result.<\/li>","Metadescription":null,"AboutRecipeTitle":null,"AboutRecipe":null,"DigitalHeadnotes":"The inspiration for this cake came from one of my favorite flowers, the sunflower.

  • Thick frosting tends to tear cake. For easier spreading, try thinning it with 1-2 teaspoons water.<\/li>
  • Tweezers come in handy when arranging chocolate chips.<\/li>
  • Keeping Peeps connected works great for decorating this cake. But you can also cut them apart and arrange individual chicks around the cake's perimeter. Either method yields an adorable result.<\/li>"}],"CommentCount":119,"RatingCount":117,"RecipeCommentDetails":[{"Comment":"dmab ?","CommentId":1,"DateRated":"04\/18\/2019 20:57","GUID":"0b83dd82639d49eda222a5e9fcf4d535","MemberId":8769279,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"lkollock","SubmittedDate":"04\/18\/2019 20:57"},{"Comment":"It says here 4 boxes of cake mix--can't be....","CommentId":2,"DateRated":"04\/15\/2019 23:21","GUID":"efc549bec1684717b81e892f1859824f","MemberId":5692490,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"dmab6395","SubmittedDate":"04\/15\/2019 23:21"},{"Comment":"Since I fell in love with peeps when I was a child, I instantly decided to make this cake, I cooked last night and served it today to my sewing group at lunch. Many compliments came my way. My variations: spice flavor cake mix. My granddaughter taught me to use applesauce instead of oil in a cake mix. I used one 9 inch cake pan and a second 5 inch pan (for home). I made my own frosting from melted choc chips and butter stirred with confectioners sugar, a blop of milk and teeny bit of nutmeg. My peeps stayed right where I applied them. I used a thin blade serrated knife to separate them. They fanned out around the cake edge . I used green food coloring mixed in " White Shimmer Sugar" and sprinkled it around the bottom of the cake. My old arthritis fingers took an hour to apply the chips to both of the cakes. I was so excited about them, it didn't matter! Big success at meeting today! Can' t wait to make them for our grandchildren next. Thank you for the lovely photograph accompanying the recipe.","CommentId":3,"DateRated":"03\/15\/2019 05:04","GUID":"412977bd9ef8456ba7ff8231c31465d4","MemberId":5522231,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Marta","SubmittedDate":"03\/15\/2019 05:04"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":4,"DateRated":"06\/27\/2018 16:03","GUID":"d8f42196b5164b898733428ce26696ff","MemberId":7513842,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"DarBoy","SubmittedDate":"06\/27\/2018 16:03"},{"Comment":"

    I made this Peeps cake for a volunteer tea at our Animal Shelter. It was a hit. Turned out exactly like photo. It took two hours from start to finish allowing for cooling time. I used large bittersweet chips and filled in with semisweet mini chips and then sprinkled leftover peeps sugar on top. You have to separate the peeps to get the roundness. My cake took 18 Peeps. I used box yellow mix doctored with vanilla pudding mix, extra egg etc. Like in recipes you can search to improve a cake mix Used chocolate marshmallow frosting in can and added 1\/2 tsp vanilla extract.

    Made this cake this weekend and it was a huge hit, my niece and nephews loved it! It was so festive. I used marble cake instead of yellow, I think any cake and frosting combo would work well with this fun recipe.

I think this cake would be a good addition all summer long so be sure to buy plenty of Peeps!<\/p>","CommentId":49,"DateRated":"03\/19\/2013 08:32","GUID":"0883d8a3664d4b9e92eafce2ccacb5aa","MemberId":4613426,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"mebolen","SubmittedDate":"03\/19\/2013 08:32"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":50,"DateRated":"03\/16\/2013 11:49","GUID":"16037532b62c4cb0af3256489fcc9a00","MemberId":6713670,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"conniejojo56","SubmittedDate":"03\/16\/2013 11:49"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":51,"DateRated":"03\/14\/2013 12:28","GUID":"1FB0ECFADCBD4E7EAB238930B5741167","MemberId":3528107,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"jazeejen","SubmittedDate":"03\/14\/2013 12:28"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":52,"DateRated":"03\/13\/2013 19:19","GUID":"89325da858594ed9b6d627f6bc172764","MemberId":7166150,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"hungariancooker","SubmittedDate":"03\/13\/2013 19:19"},{"Comment":"

    I made this as a homemade chocolate cake with a cream cheese & chocolate filling with chocolate icing and it was fabulous.

    The special thing about this cake is how it is decorated. I used a plain white cake mix. Frosted it with homemade chocolate buttercream frosting and did the Peep petals with chocolate chips in the center.

    This cake was the centerpiece of a buffet for yesterdays customer appreciation sale that I hold annually. (Made from my own cake recipe and frosting recipe. from this site). I had 27 requests for the printed recipe, took 4 orders for catering, and at the end of the party\/sale, sold the one that I had made. Everyone said that it was too pretty to cut-a theory that usually drives me nuts. The extra $$ soothed my irritation just fine! Kudo's to the Doughboy for an easy and quick pleaser, picture-worthy and with unlimited variations. I'm stocking and freezing the marshmallow treats for summer catering. 2 thumbs up.<\/p>","CommentId":76,"DateRated":"04\/08\/2012 14:07","GUID":"6bb6d0e99f4140188e458d7cb7b2fe0d","MemberId":6418661,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"OneNonBlonde","SubmittedDate":"04\/08\/2012 14:07"},{"Comment":"

    I made a test cake for a goodbye party and everyone at work thought it was very clever. I'm taking it to our Easter dinner this Sunday. I too used toothpicks to hold the Peeps in place--I think the problem is putting them too close to the edge.<\/p>","CommentId":107,"DateRated":"04\/20\/2011 23:24","GUID":"9c55a971affa40bba1946025b98dd438","MemberId":4517110,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"GrammaBakes","SubmittedDate":"04\/20\/2011 23:24"},{"Comment":"

    I made this cake with pink peeps last year and it was a huge success!

    I made this cake for my son's pre-school Easter celebration. It was so easy, it must have taken me 10-15 minutes to decorate my cake.

    Very easy and looked great. I used toothpicks to keep the peeps on. For some reason (maybe the weight of the peeps on toothpicks) the cake broke down the middle.

    I couldn't find yellow peeps so I used pink ones! Oh and I am so glad I did! It was so pretty! I had to use toothpicks to keep the peeps on.
