Decorate Any Way You Want

I love how easy it is to make this spring cake. All one needs is a few boxes of cake mix and frosting. The sprinkles and marshmallow egg toppers are, of course, completely optional. However, adding these elements really makes the cake come to life and it gives it that wow factor.

Perfect Pastel Cake Layers for Spring

The real showstopper of this spring cake is on the inside. The layers of this cake are classic white and pastel purple. When you cut into the cake it is such a fun surprise to see. I love the way that the center of this cake turns out. No one will expect to see the fun pastel layers of vanilla cake until you cut into it.

Don’t like the color purple? That’s cool. You can easily dye your cake layers any color you would like by using natural food coloring.

What do I decorate My cake with?

You can decorate your cake with anything you would like. I chose to decorate my cake with spring themed sprinkles and egg shaped Peep marshmallows.

You might not be able to find these decorating items where you live, so get creative. Use whatever spring themed sprinkles that you can find. As for the cake topper, you can completely omit it or use something different like chicks or bunnies like I decorated this Easter Bunny trifle recipe with.
