The inspiration for this cake came from one of my favorite flowers, the sunflower. The yellow peeps make eye-catching flower petals, and I carefully placed chocolate chips in a circular pattern to resemble the seeds in the middle of a sunflower. This cake is easy, but looks quite impressive. —Bethany Eledge, Cleveland, Tennessee

oops- make that BIG hit
It has become an annual tradition to make this cake in my family. Several co-workers have taken the idea home as well. This year I made the traditional way and then with orange peeps and orange creamsicle frosting on a white cake with white chips in the center. A bit hit.

This was so easy to make! I used my own chocolate buttercream frosting, though; can't stand canned stuff. I used 8" cake pans so the cake stood a little taller, but wow - how very cute!! Super easy! I had to run my hands under cold water a few times while putting on the chocolate chip "seeds" - the heat of my hand holding the chips made them melt and I couldn't pick them up - LOL! Can't wait to take it to church and watch the kids devour it!

I made this cake for a get together with families and everyone, kids and adults, loved it. To answer the question about freezing Peeps, yes you can freeze them and since they are available now in the stores, it would be a good time to stock up. I think this cake would be a good addition all summer long so be sure to buy plenty of Peeps!
