Magical Pots of Gold
This is a festive version of traditional cupcakes that kids of all ages will love. Swap traditional cupcake liners for plastic kettles/cauldrons. Bake a sheet cake, and layer pieces of the cake with green frosting inside the kettle. Top with more green frosting, a gold coin, and frosted toasted oat cereal with marshmallows. Dust with edible gold glitter for an extra-magical pot of gold.
Make This Recipe
Ingredients
1 box of white cake mix
3 Eggland’s Best Large Eggs
1 cup water
½ cup vegetable oil
2 cans of white frosting
Green food coloring
1 box of frosted toasted oat cereal with marshmallows
Mini plastic candy cauldron kettles
Gold plastic or foil-wrapped chocolate coins
Edible gold glitter (optional)
Preparation
- Follow the instructions on the boxed cake mix, using the recommended 1 cup water, ½ vegetable oil, and 3 Eggland’s Best eggs. Bake in a 9”x13” pan.
- Allow time for the baked cake to cool completely.
- Prepare the frosting by mixing in a few drops of green food coloring, then fill a piping bag with the green frosting.
- Cut the baked cake into cubes, or use a small circle-shaped cookie cutter (smaller than the opening of the kettle) to cut out discs from the cake.
- Layer the frosting and cake cubes/discs inside the kettle. Pipe some frosting inside the kettle’s base to begin, then add a cube or disc. Then repeat 1-2 more times until the kettle is filled.
- Finish by piping green frosting over the top/opening of the kettle, similar to how a cupcake would be frosted.
- Add gold coin(s), then fill the remaining frosted surface with cereal marshmallows and oat pieces. Then use a paintbrush to “dust” everything with edible gold glitter.
