This is one of my dessert recipes that my family always love!
It’s so easy and looks amazing sitting on the dessert table.
Please excuse the picture quality, I was pressed for time and wasn’t able to get the perfect shot, but I think you can get the general idea from this one?
(This is a repost from a couple years ago)
I decided the other day to make a cake I came across last year, long after Peeps were no longer available.
It was a win-win because my family had been asking me to bake a cake and I got the opportunity to pretend I was an amazing cake decorator (which I really am not).
This has to be THE easiest cake decorating I have ever done!
Just bake your favorite flavor double layer cake and frost it with chocolate frosting. Create a circle around the outside of the cake with yellow Peeps and fill the inside of the circle with chocolate chips.
That’s it!
I was in a hurry because the masses were standing over my shoulder waiting for a piece of the cake, so I just scattered the chips in the middle of the circle although you could take more time if you wanted it to look neater.
I love how I was able to take an ordinary cake and turn it into a masterpiece within minutes. I am very happy with how this cake turned out and will likely make it again during Easter.
I would love to hear from you if you try this yourself. In fact I’d love to see a picture of yours!

Your cake looks awesome. I am not a huge fan of peeps but I could remove them and dig into the rest of the cake. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Rob, truth is I am not a fan of Peeps either. In fact the only one in my house who will eat them is my daughter. Everyone else took them off and enjoyed the cake and chocolate chips though.

I love Peeps and cannot decorate to save my life.
This is so cute and I think I’ll try making it sometime – probably for Bill’s birthday, he LOVES cake.

I am telling you, less than 5 minutes to decorate! SO easy!

LOVE THIS!! I have a reputation for bitting of more than I can chew when it comes to cake decoration/design. But even I couldn’t mess this one up! Thanks or sharing!

Well there is really no way to mess this one up, good luck!
