How To Make easter bonnet cake - easy cake mix
-
1Heat oven to 325.. Prepare cake mix as following directions, using the ingredients as indicated on package. Coat 11 inch tart pan (with a removable bottom) and a 4 cup oven proof bowl (6 inches across top) with a non stick cooking spray. Pour 3 cups of cake batter into the prepared tart pan, filling it up about 1/2 way. Pour the remaining batter, about 1-1/2 cups into the prepared bowl. Bake the tart pan about 20 to 25 minutes. The bowl about 30-35 minutes. Cool both tart pan and bowl on a wire racks for 15 minutes. Un-mold the cakes onto racks and cool completely. If necessary, trim top of bowl cake so it is flat and level. -
2Spoon both containers of frosting into a large micro-wave safe bowl. Whisk in 4 drops of food coloring for desired shade.. Microwave the frosting on high power until a good spreading consistency, about 30 seconds. Spread frosting with a metal spatula over the tart cake. Then spread frosting over the inverted bowl cake. Reserve left over frosting. Place cakes in refrigerator to set..about 20 minutes.

3Place tart cake on a platter, or aluminum-foil covered cardboard. Place the bowl cake, flat side down on top of tart cake to form the bonnet. Spread the remaining frosting over the entire cake for a finished surface. If the frosting becomes to firm to spread, reheat as needed to keep frosting spreadable. Wrap the ribbon around base of the bonnet and make a decorative bow. Arrange candy flowers and leaves as pictured. Sit back and take a minute to enjoy your newly created beautiful bonnet. Be sure to take a few pictures!!!
