Crazy Carousel
What You Need
- 1 18-ounce box cake mix
- 2 8-inch round cake pans
- 2 15-ounce containers
- frosting (plus food coloring, if desired)
- 2 drinking straws
- 5 candy sticks
- Colorful decorative candies
- 1 party hat, or colored corrugated cardboard
- Scotch tape and construction paper (optional)
- 1 gumdrop
The Shape
Bake two 8-inch round cakes. Let cool, then stack them in layers, with frosting between. Insert the straws, cut slightly shorter than the height of both layers combined, to prevent sliding.
The Decoration
- Thickly frost the entire cake.
- Insert the candy sticks at evenly spaced intervals just inside the perimeter, and decorate the cake with the candies.
- For the top, use either the party hat or a cone fashioned from a 10 1/2-inch circle of the cardboard with a slit cut from the edge to the center. (If desired, use construction paper to make the decorative crown around the cone, as shown, and affix it with Scotch tape.)
- Add the gumdrop to the top of the party hat or cone, then place it atop the candy sticks.
