Ah, Peeps. You either love them or hate them. I tend to lean more toward the side of hating them, but each and every spring I buy a box and eat a few of the fluffy little marshmallow animals. They remind me of my childhood and the Easter baskets I used to run around the house trying to find.
Since today is the first day of spring, I thought I’d post the cute and EASY sunflower Peep cake that I made. I think cakes are notoriously tedious – they can be tough to make entirely from scratch and decorating them is usually fun, but so time consuming. This cake is different – so easy and fast to make!
