Need some extra help? See how to make it.

Paste food color will produce more vividly colored frosting.

Create an attractive display by covering a piece of sturdy cardboard with wrapping paper, then plastic food wrap. Stretch and secure with tape. Or cover cardboard with foil or cooking parchment paper.

I added GUMMY WORMS to the inside of the cake. The kids loved it and had a blast pulling out the gummy worms from their cake, and it is such a cute idea!
