Difficulty: Moderate
What you'll need:
- 1 bag SNICKERS® Brand MINIS®
- 1 bag M&M'S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies
- 1 bag MILKY WAY® Brand Caramel MINIS®
- 2 16-oz. boxes pound cake mix
- 2 12-oz. cans whipped vanilla frosting
- 1 16-oz. can chocolate frosting
- 1 16-oz. can strawberry-mist frosting
- Red food coloring
- 3 chocolate licorice twists
- 1 9 x 13-inch cake pan
- Foil paper
- 2 resealable plastic bags
- Spatula
- Ribbon pastry tip
- Plain writing pastry tip
- Printable template
What to do:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line the 9 x 13-inch cake pan with foil paper and grease.
- Roughly chop 2 cups of SNICKERS® Brand MINIS®. Prepare the cake mix according to package instructions. Fold chopped SNICKERS® Brand MINIS® into the batter and transfer to prepared cake pan. Bake for approximately 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
- Cut the cake in half, making two equal rectangles 9 x 6.5 inches. Spread a thin layer of vanilla frosting on top of one half and sandwich the two halves. Use the printable template to cut the cake into a purse shape. Stand the cake up, use the photo as your guide. Tint the vanilla frosting a bright pink and frost the entire cake.
- Spoon 1/2 cup chocolate frosting into a resealable plastic bag fitted with a ribbon pastry tip and using the photograph as guide, pipe the lines on the outer edges of the cake. Attach yellow M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies along the chocolate lines.
- Fit the resealable bag with a small round pastry tip and pipe the stitches. Detail the pockets with an outside line of strawberry-mist frosting and an inside line of chocolate frosting. Place a MILKY WAY® Brand Caramel MINIS® as a buckle.
- Insert 1 toothpick at each end of the chocolate licorice twists and insert into the top of the cake as handle.
Tip: if you do not have a ribbon tip, use any pastry tip to detail the purse.
Makes 24 servings.
