Bethany Eledge Cleveland, Tennessee “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.”

Everyone loved it. Great for Easter. So easy . I ended up having to come up with another idea for a white cake. used a blue peep on that one with roasted coconut for a nest in middle of cake and little robin egg whoppers for little eggs in nest and all around outside edge. Thanks for the idea to use peeps.

I wanted to make this in the summer because it seemed to fit more. Since PEEPS are a seasonal thing I was unable to use them. I just dyed whit frosting and did the best I could to make "petals".
