CANDY LAND CAKE INSTRUCTIONS:
This cake is fun to make and yummy to eat. One of the
best things about a homemade Candyland cake is that you can go
step-by-step from our instructions or unleash your own imagination for a
custom creation.
1) Make a yellow cake mix according to the
directions on the box. Set aside a ½ cup of the batter. This will be
used for the ice cream cup cake.
(You can also opt to make a batch of the ice cream cup cakes and if so, just use all the batter for your cake.)
2) Bake the cake in a 9x12” cake pan then allow to cool.
3)
Invert onto a thick cardboard covered with wrapping paper or excess
plastic table cover. A bright colored covering, such as red or bright
pink is our pick.
4) Frost the cake with our cream cheese frosting or white frosting of your choice.
5)
If you are baking just one ice cream cup cake, go ahead and get it
going by pouring the ½ cup of reserved batter into a sugar cone, placing
in a muffin tin and baking at 350 degrees until golden brown.
If you are making a whole batch, refer to our ice cream cup cake instructions. Bake and set one aside to use for the cake.
6)
Frost the ice cream cup cake with white frosting or frosting of your
choice and top with multi- colored sprinkles or candy pieces.
7)
Form the walkway on the cake with Starburst candies as shown in the
picture. Then make the Rainbow Bridge using multi-colored strips of
Twizzlers or Laffy Taffy. Shape peppermint balls into a mound using
leftover frosting to secure if needed.
8) The next step is to
create Gum Drop Mountain by stacking up colorful gum drops. Use
frosting or toothpics to secure.Assemble Sweet Tarts for the walkway
then stick three peppermint lollypops in the cake. Put the ice cream
cup cake on.
9) Arrange peppermints across the bottom front of the cake and candied fruit slices around the sides and back.
10) Place a candle on the cake if desired.
*Take pictures quickly because this cake wont stick around long!
