Author Laurie Bennett

Ingredients

  • 1 Bag Starburst Jellybeans Fruit & Crème
  • 1 Bag Starburst Tropical Fruit Chews
  • 2 Twelve Ounce Whipped Vanilla Frosting
  • 1 Eighteen Ounce Box Cake Mix
  • 1 C. Strawberry Jam
  • Red Food Coloring Paste, or Gel

Instructions

  • Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions. Bake in 2 eight inch round cake pans.
  • Let the cakes cool to room temperature.
  • Using the two cakes as layers, sandwich the strawberry jam inside.
  • Trim the jam-filled cake into a strawberry shape.
  • Tint the vanilla frosting with the red food coloring to the desired shade, and frost the entire cake.
  • Separate the yellow Starburst Brand Jellybeans Fruit & Crème from the rest of the package, and arrange them on the cake.
  • Select and unwrap 14 green Starburst Tropical Fruit Chews. Soften them in the microwave for 3 to 4 seconds, then mold them into one piece with your fingers, and slightly flatten it.
  • Using a rolling pin, roll out the flattened Starburst piece until wafer thin.
  • Cut two leaves out of the mold with a knife.
  • Gather up the STARBURST® trimmings and form them into a stem.
  • Place the 2 leaves and the stem at the top of the cake.
  • Serve and Enjoy!
