RAINBOW CHRISTMAS WREATH

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Generously grease 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with shortening or cooking spray. Make cake mix as directed on box, using water, oil and eggs. Pour half of the batter into medium bowl; set aside. Divide the other half of batter equally between 2 small bowls. (You will be left with 3 bowls of batter.) Add red food color to 1 of the small bowls and mix well. Add green food color to the second small bowl and mix well.
• Pour half of the white batter from medium bowl into cake pan. Carefully pour red batter over white batter in pan. Carefully pour green batter over red batter. Then pour remaining white batter from medium bowl over the top. Do not mix the colors.
• Bake as directed on box until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Turn pan upside down onto cooling rack placed over a cookie sheet; remove pan. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Place cake on serving plate.
• Divide frosting between 2 small microwavable bowls. Microwave 1 bowl on High about 5 to 10 seconds; mix well with spoon until smooth enough to drizzle. With the spoon, drizzle white frosting back and forth around the whole cake in a striping pattern until you use all of the frosting (allow some frosting to drip down onto plate in middle of cake, if desired).
• Microwave second bowl of frosting; stir in a few drops of green food color. Drizzle over cake, scattering back and forth in the same type of striping pattern. Decorate with sprinkles. Let stand until frosting is set before serving.

PULL-APART CHRISTMAS BUNDT CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease 2 12-cavity mini Bundt pans with nonstick spray and lightly dust each mold with flour, shaking out the excess.
• Fill each cavity about ¾ of the way with the cake batter.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cakes have risen and the tops are golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
• In a medium bowl, combine 1 container of vanilla frosting with the green food coloring. Add half of the remaining container of frosting to a separate medium bowl and combine with 3 drops of red food coloring. Reserve the remaining white frosting.
• Trim the bottoms of all but 2 of the bundt cakes so they sit flat, reserving the trimmings in a large bowl.
• Add the 2 remaining mini bundt cakes to the bowl with the trimmings and crumble, then add 3 tablespoons of the white frosting and stir until well combined and the mixture holds together.
• Portion the cake mixture into 10 1-tablespoon balls, rolling in your hands until smooth. Freeze until ready to coat.
• Add the white chocolate to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between, until completely melted.
• Transfer half of the melted white chocolate to a separate bowl and dye one bowl with the remaining 3 drops of red food coloring.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Using a skewer, dip 5 of the frozen cake balls into each color chocolate until fully coated, letting the excess drip off. Place the cake balls on the prepared baking sheet and let the chocolate set for 5 minutes, or until solid.
• Assemble the wreath: Transfer the green frosting to a piping bag fitted with a stipple tip. Transfer the red frosting to a piping bag fitted with a ribbon tip.
• Arrange the mini bundt cakes on a serving platter in 2 concentric circles. Pipe the green frosting on top of each cake and in the gaps between the cakes. Use the red frosting to pipe a bow at the bottom of the wreath. Arrange the cake balls on top as "ornaments." Dust with the powdered sugar.
• Enjoy!
