Ingredients

  • 1 box white cake mix + ingredients to make cake
  • Red food coloring
  • Green food coloring
  • 1 can White Frosting
  • 1 package PEEPS® Gingerbread-Flavored Marshmallow Gingerbread Men
  • 1 package PEEPS® Marshmallow Trees
  • 1 package PEEPS® Marshmallow Snowmen
  • 1 package PEEPS® Milk Chocolate Dipped Sugar Cookie Flavored Chicks
  • 1 package PEEPS® Marshmallow Minions
  • 1/2 c. mini marshmallows
  • red icing
  • green icing

Instructions

  • Mix the white cake mix according to the package directions. Divide the batter in half. Put a few drops of green food coloring in one half of the batter and a few red drops in the other half. Mix until the color is spread evenly through the batter.
  • Pour each batter into an 8 inch cake pan. Bake according to the package directions. Once the cakes are baked remove from pans and cool on a wire rack.
  • Once the cakes are cooled place the green cake on a cake round. Spread with 1/2 cup of frosting. Top with the red cake.
  • Use all but 1/4 cup of the remaining frosting to frost the tops and sides of the cake.
  • Alternate the gingerbread men, trees, and snowmen around the outside edge of the cake.
  • On top of the cake place a PEEPS® snowman at the edge of the cake facing inward. Place two PEEPS® Minions facing the snowman as if they are building him.
  • On the opposite side of the cake place one PEEPS® Minion laying flat and face up on the cake with a gingerbread man next to him.
  • Finally, place 1 Milk Chocolate Dipped Sugar Cookie Flavored Chick on the edge of the cake. Using a bit of the remaining frosting stick a PEEPS® Minion on the back of it so it looks like he is riding the Chick.
  • Use the remaining frosting to stick mini marshmallows to the Minions sides and all over the cake as snowballs.
  • Pipe the red icing on a few of the Minions heads to make Santa hats, using a mini marshmallow as the puff ball on the hat.
  • Finish the cake by piping the red and green icing around the edge of the cake in a decorative way.
