- Cocoa Candy Melts 1 Peep Mini Malted Milk Eggs
- 1 box White Cake Mix
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- Soft Pink Food Color
- 6 ounces White Chocolate chopped.
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 2 1/2 cups Confectioners’ Sugar Mini Malted Milk Eggs Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Melt your candy melts in a double boiler over low heat. After they are melted put the liquid in a squeeze bottle or a decorating bag with a Wilton tip 4 or 5.
Use a small bowl turned upside down and go back and forth over the bowl with your melts so they form a string-like design. The first time you formed a base and then put the bowl in the freezer.
Scrape the sides, and then add your food coloring. Prepare your pans by coating the inside of each pan with shortening, and then flouring the insides. You don't want your cake to stick. The small pan took 22 minutes to bake. The larger pan took 31 minutes.
As soon as you take your cakes out, go around the edges to loosen them from the sides of the pan. It makes a huge difference. Let them cool completely, then take them out of the pan. Chop your bar of white chocolate into small pieces. This will help it melt evenly. Place in a double boiler, on low heat and let it melt.
Add the vanilla and the confectioners' sugar. I used this small wire basket to put the sugar in the batter. Measure it out, and then put it in the basket a little at a time and shake it over the mix. It has the same effect as sifting, and it is a lot quicker. If you don't sift, your frosting might be lumpy, and it is hard to fix.
Put your nest on top and add some eggs and your peep. Decorate with the malted milk eggs, or however you wish!
- For this cake, Wilton's Gel Coloring Rose, Lemon Yellow, and Sky Blue were the specific colors used. We used Wilton's Kelly Green to color the coconut.
