Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven according to the directions on the cake mix box. Grease and flour a round cake pan.
-
Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake it as directed. Allow the cake to cool completely after baking.
-
Divide the white frosting into two separate bowls. Tint one bowl of frosting yellow using yellow food coloring to create the chick's body. Leave the other bowl white for the chick's wings and decoration.
-
Once the cake has cooled, invert it onto a serving platter. Use a serrated knife to level the top of the cake, creating a flat surface for decorating.
-
Use some of the yellow frosting to crumb coat the cake to help the final frosting layer adhere smoothly.
-
Frost the entire cake with the remaining yellow frosting, creating a smooth surface.
-
Mix shredded coconut with a few drops of yellow food coloring until evenly tinted. Gently press the tinted coconut onto the frosted cake to create the chick's fluffy feathers.
-
Use the white frosting to pipe two small wings onto the cake, one on each side. Use white frosting to create the chick's eyes and beak. For the eyes, place mini chocolate chips, and for the beak, pipe a small triangle of orange frosting.
-
Use black decorating gel to add small dots on the chocolate chips to create the pupils of the eyes.
-
Surround the Easter Chick Cake with candy-coated chocolate eggs for decoration.
