EASTER BASKET CAKE
Very festive for the Easter holiday! Instead of using the candy to decorate the basket, I've also used milk chocolate icing or colored the vanilla icing to match the handle then used a fork to gently rake a basket type woven look into the sides of the cake.

SURPRISE-INSIDE EASTER CANDY LAYER CAKE
When only over-the-top will do, this is the cake for you! A springtime festival of color on a pretty platter, this is the ultimate "wow" cake to bring out at your Easter party or any occasion that calls for a second-to-none impressive dessert. The base of the cake is your shortcut step, using Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix, and from there, decorating with panache is the name of the game. The surprise-inside effect is easy to achieve by following the steps outlined in this recipe. Fill the center of the cake with candies and pastel-colored sprinkle mix for a colorful surprise that spills out of the cake when it's cut open. Ombre frosting is made more achievable with Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Vanilla Frosting tinted with pastel gel food colors that deliver the exact shades you need without extra testing and fuss. The top of the cake is its crowning glory, with a ring of pink frosting dollops and wall-to-wall sprinkles.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Spray bottoms and sides of two 8-inch round cake pans with cooking spray.
- In large bowl, beat 1 box cake mix and ingredients called for on box with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Divide evenly between pans.
- Bake 28 to 33 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, repeat mixing and baking with second box of cake mix to make 2 more layers.
- Flatten cake layers by trimming off round tops. In 2 layers, cut small round out of center, using 4-inch round cutter. In small bowl, mix chocolate candies, mini eggs, baking chips and 1/2 cup of the sprinkles; set aside.
- To assemble cake: Place 1 uncut cake layer on serving plate; spread 1/3 cup frosting on top. Top with 1 layer with center removed; spread 1/3 cup frosting on top. Top with second layer with center removed; spread 1/3 cup frosting on top.
- Fill cake with candies and sprinkles mixture. Gently press candies to level; top with full cake layer. Frost top and side of cake with 1 1/2 cups frosting. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
- In medium bowl, place 1 1/2 cups of the frosting; stir in pink food color until blended. Fit decorating bag with 1/2-inch round piping tip; fill with 3/4 cup pink frosting. Set decorating bag and pink frosting aside. In 1 small bowl, place 1/4 cup of the frosting; stir in yellow food color until blended. In another small bowl, place 1/4 cup frosting, stir in green food color until blended.
- Using photo as a guide, spread 1/2 cup of the pink frosting on top of cake, reserving remaining pink frosting for top third of cake. Starting on side, spread yellow frosting on bottom third of cake. In middle third of cake, spread green frosting so green frosting overlaps yellow frosting. On upper third of cake, spread remaining pink frosting so pink frosting overlaps green frosting.
- To blend colors together on side of cake: Using an icing spatula, starting at bottom edge of cake, lightly blend and barely smooth colors in an upward motion toward top edge of cake; wipe spatula clean with paper towel. Repeat blending of frosting and wiping off spatula. Smooth top if needed. Pipe frosting mounds around top edge of cake. Sprinkle remaining 3 tablespoons candy sprinkles in center.
- Store loosely covered at room temperature.

EASTER BASKET CAKE
This is a real showstopper that almost turns a cake into an Easter basket with basket-weave piping on the sides, grass on top, and Easter candies, jelly beans (representing eggs), and chocolates filling the basket on top. I've got to be honest with you, this cake isn't a walk in the park: The basket-weave piping takes real skill and precision, so this is for more advanced cake decorators. However, if you have some experience with a pastry bag and turntable, or are a quick study, go for it and make this for your next Easter celebration. It's a fun, festive, unforgettable cake that might become a tradition for your family, as it has for mine.

Steps:
- For the chocolate fudge frosting: Put the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and paddle on low speed until smooth, with no lumps, approximately 3 minutes. With the motor running, add the sugar, one cup at a time, adding the next cup only after the previous
- addition is absorbed.
- Stop the machine and add the cocoa, vanilla, and salt. Paddle on low-medium speed until completely smooth, approximately 2 minutes. Add the water and continue to paddle until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Put the chocolate fudge frosting in a pastry bag fitted with a #48 interchangeable basket weave tip.
- For the white American buttercream: Combine the butter and shortening in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Sift in the confectioners' sugar and mix on low speed to prevent the sugar from spilling out of the bowl. Increase the speed to medium and mix until the mixture aerates and becomes smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and turn down the speed to low.
- With the motor running on low speed, add the salt and slowly pour in the vanilla and oil in a thin stream. Increase the speed to medium and combine until the mixture is light, fluffy and smooth.
- For the green American buttercream: Put 3 cups White American Buttercream in a large bowl.
- Add a small amount of the green food coloring gel and combine with a rubber spatula until the cream is uniformly colored. Add more gel as you mix until the frosting is the desired shade of green.
- Put the green buttercream in a pastry bag fitted with a #233 interchangeable grass tip.
- To assemble: On a turntable, prepare a double-layer cake of your choosing on a doily-lined cardboard circle, filling it with the filling of your choice.
- Put 3 cups of the White American Buttercream in a pastry bag fitted with a #6 star tip. Dirty ice the cake with the buttercream by covering the cake with a thin layer to create a crumb coat.
- Take the chocolate fudge bag in hand, and working from bottom to top, using the straight side of the tip (the basket weave tip has a plain/straight side and a ruffled/serrated side), pipe vertical lines around the side of the cake, 1/8-inch apart, turning the turntable after each line.
- Next, starting at the bottom, and turning the turntable as you work, pipe horizontal bands over every other vertical line. Pipe another set of bands above the first set, piping them over the lines you skipped on the first level.
- Continue in this fashion, piping over alternating sets of lines, until you have created a basket weave that covers the entire side of the cake.
- Take the green buttercream bag in hand and squeeze-and-pull grass around the border, letting the grass come slightly over the edge. Cover the entire top of the cake with grass.
- Top the cake with the jelly beans, Peeps, Reese's peanut butter cups, and other candies.

EASTER BASKET BUNDT CAKE RECIPE (EASY SPRING DESSERT!)
From ithinkwecouldbefriends.com
- Pipe the first layer of WHITE frosting. Ideally you would have a piping bag with a large, round metal tip. However, I did not have one so I used the trusty gallon bag method: I put the remaining frosting into a gallon Ziploc bag.
- Pipe the first layer of GREEN frosting. Add some green food coloring to a batch of icing, and use a smaller tip, or cut a smaller hold in another Ziploc bag (about 1/4″).
- Pipe ANOTHER layer of green icing. Go back over the top of the cake several times and add another layer of green icing, this time making it look a little more wild so it looks like grass :)
- Make a TINFOIL ball. Unless you want to fill the ENTIRE center with candy, wad up some tinfoil and put it in the hole in the middle before adding the eggs…no one can tell!
- Decorate! Add your favorite candy to make an Easter masterpiece — eggs, marshmallow bunnies, chickens… whatever you can find!! Then to top it off, use a headband for the basket handle and, tada — your cake is done!!
- Show off your Easter Basket Bundt Cake! Seriously, this basket Bundt cake will be the star of the Easter show! It really makes a statement as an Easter table centerpiece (and no one will need to know how EASY it was ;)
