TIPS from the kitchens
Special Touch
Top this pretty cake with colorful candy presents. Spoon about 1/4 cup of Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy vanilla ready-to-spread frosting into a small resealable plastic bag. Mix in food color if desired. Cut off a corner of the bag, and pipe frosting onto unwrapped candy fruit chews to look like ribbon. Arrange presents on cake.
Storage
Grate lemon or orange peel onto waxed paper. After you’ve used what you need, fold paper over leftover peel and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Seal in a resealable food storage bag and freeze until you need it next.
