Ingredients

  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix (or your favorite flavor)*
  • Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
  • 1 tub (12 oz) Betty Crocker™ Whipped Fluffy White Frosting
  • Neon pink liquid food color

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Make and bake cake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around sides of pan to loosen cake; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Place cake in freezer 30 minutes before cutting to reduce crumbs.
  • 2
    In large bowl, mix frosting and food color to desired color. Using serrated knife, cut rounded top off cake to level surface; place cake top side up. Use toothpicks to mark sections of cake to be cut. (See link below for template.) Cut cake into crown shape. Place on serving tray.
  • 3
    Frost with thin layer of frosting to seal in crumbs. Freeze about 30 minutes to set frosting. Frost entire cake.
  • 4
    Line cookie sheet with waxed paper. In 1-cup microwavable measuring cup, microwave baking chips uncovered on Medium (50%) 30 seconds. Stir; microwave in 10-second increments, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Place in small resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut off tiny corner of bag. Squeeze bag to pipe star and squiggle shapes as desired on waxed paper; immediately top with sprinkles. Refrigerate 10 minutes to set.
  • 5
    To decorate cake, place white chocolate shapes on top of cake. Store loosely covered at room temperature.

  • *For all chocolate and devil's food cake mixes, use only 1 cup of the water.
  • 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.
  • Save the scraps! The cake scraps can be crumbled and sprinkled over ice cream or made into cake pops to serve with the crown cake.
