Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees with a rack in the center. Butter a 13-by-9-by-2-inch cake pan. Line bottom and long sides of cake with parchment paper, allowing at least a 1-inch overhang; set aside. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. With the mixer running, add eggs, one at a time, beating to incorporate after each addition. Beat in vanilla, and lemon juice and zest.
- With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, and beating until fully incorporated.
- Pour into prepared cake pan. Bake until light golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Place 3 cups buttercream in a medium bowl, and 1/2 cup in each of 2 bowls. Add sunset orange and blushing pink food coloring to the medium bowl, to make peach; set aside. Add golden yellow to a bowl with 1/2 cup buttercream; place in a pastry bag fitted with a #18 Ateco tip and set aside. Tint remaining 1/2 cup buttercream bright yellow, and place in a pastry bag fitted with a #6 Ateco tip and set aside.
- To assemble: Cut out 6 four-inch rounds from cake. Split each round horizontally, creating twelve layers. Spread top of one layer with 3 tablespoons of the peach buttercream. Place a second layer on top of buttercream, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat with remaining layers, creating six filled cakes.
- To make the petals, place a 3 1/2-inch round cutter 1/2 inch in from the edge of one of the cakes, and cut; discard the cut piece. Repeat with four more cakes. Reserve one uncut cake for center of flower.
- Using an offset spatula, frost each of the cakes with 1/2 cup peach buttercream. Start from the center, and work out, making sure to push the buttercream over the sides of the cake. Smooth the buttercream.
- Place the center of the flower on a serving plate or pedestal. Coat the sides of remaining cakes with sprinkles, and place evenly around the pedestal, being sure to position the cut section of each cake against the center cake to adhere.
- Using the piping bag filled with golden buttercream, pipe two rows of small stars around the perimeter of the center of the flower. Using the piping bag filled with yellow buttercream, pipe small dots onto the center of the cake until it is completely covered.

Steps:
- One-Bowl Chocolate Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 8-inch round cake pans and one 8-inch stainless-steel bowl, and line bottoms with parchment; butter parchment, and dust with cocoa.
- Into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, sift cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low, stir in eggs, 1 1/2 cups warm water, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla until smooth, about 3 minutes.
- Divide batter among prepared pans and bowl. Bake, rotating once, until tester inserted in center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes for 8-inch layers and 50 to 55 minutes for bowl.
- Let cakes cool on wire rack for 20 minutes, then remove and cool completely, right side up on rack. Cakes can be made in advance and stored up to 1 day in refrigerator. They can be stored 1 week in the freezer.
- Swiss Meringue Buttercream: Beat butter with electric mixer until fluffy and pale. Transfer to small bowl.
- In double boiler over simmering water, whisk sugar and egg whites until warm and sugar is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to clean bowl of electric mixer; beat on high with whisk attachment until fluffy and cooled, about 10 minutes.
- Reduce mixer to medium-low; add butter a scant 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla.
- Switch to paddle attachment; beat on lowest speed 3 to 5 minutes. Leave at room temperature if using same day. Or store airtight in refrigerator up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature; beat until smooth.
- With serrated knife, trim the tops of layers that were baked in cake pans to be level. Brush excess crumbs away. Place bottom layer on a cake round, and use an offset spatula to evenly spread 1 1/4 cups buttercream on top. Trim the uneven top away from the layer that was baked in the bowl.
- Add domed layer, cut side down, and spread 1 1/2 to 2 cups buttercream in thin layer over entire cake to seal in crumbs. Transfer assembled and crumb-coated cake to refrigerator, and chill 30 to 40 minutes, or until buttercream is firm. For best piping consistency, keep the remaining buttercream at room temperature.
- Transfer cake to rotating cake stand for easy decorating, or place on inverted cake pan to elevate. Fill pastry bag, fitted with #6B tip, with remaining buttercream. Starting at bottom of cake, pipe 1 1/4-inch stars around the base, then add stars in horizontal rows up sides and across top to completely cover cake.
- Place one gumdrop in the center of each buttercream star, creating a colorful pattern around the cake. Chill completed cake at least one hour before serving so buttercream is firm and set.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans or a 10-inch tube pan with greased parchment or heavy paper. Sift together the flour, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt. Cut the gumdrops in fourths. Fry the pecans in the 1 tablespoon butter or margarine. Mix pecans, raisins, and gumdrops together, and roll in 3/4 cup of flour mixture. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup butter or margarine and white sugar. Mix in beaten eggs. Mix in the flour and spice mixture alternately with the applesauce. Dissolve soda in hot water, and stir into batter. Stir in the vanilla. Stir in nuts, gumdrops, and raisins. Bake for 2 hours. The baking time for the tube pan should be about 30 to 40 minutes longer. Test about 10 minutes before the longer time. You may not get a clean tester, but you will be able to tell if it is the candy gumdrop or dough. Cool. Wrap in foil.
GUMDROP CAKE
I don't use baking gums for this. Those things are horrid. If you wouldn't eat them right out of the bag, don't bake with them. Don't use any black ones. Ganong are the best-they don't make black ones. The easiest way to cut them is with scissors dipped in flour.

- Put the chewy candy drop in the center of the cupcake. Put the gum pieces around it in a petal pattern.
- If necessary, snip the green jelly candy into a piece about 2 inches long. Put it on the cupcake next to the candy drop and between 2 petals-it should hang over the cupcake slightly.
- Use a paring knife to press 1 vein down the center of the fish, and a few from the center vein to the edges. Put the leaf next to the stem.
EASY GUMDROP CAKE
In lieu of fruit cakes we like to give these to friends. Most of the preparation time is in chopping the gumdrops. If you can find miniatures, you'll be way ahead. We omit the black gumdrops.
