CAROUSEL CAKE



Carousel Cake image

YOUNGSTERS are sure to circle this merry-go-round in a hurry...and form long lines to get a piece! CT's kitchen staff created the carousel's top and base with cakes. For the pretty ponies, they shaped cookies using Philip's flavorful recipe. Best of all, putting the confection together doesn't require any unusual materials-just wood dowels, ribbon and other easy-to-find supplies.

1 cake mix bundt cake
1 12-inch round cake plate
Round colored sprinkles
12 small gumdrops

Crease and fold sideways and secure with tape. Re-crease all fold lines to make them go in the same direction. You should now have a roof with seven sections rather than eight.
