Chocolate Frosting Recipe + How To Dress Up A Box Cake For Easter
One of my favorite baking hacks when I am short on time, is to take box cake mix or box brownie mix and give it my own spin.
This Easter, things with a 10 ½ month old are busier than ever so I took a chocolate box cake mix and dressed it up with my homemade chocolate frosting and favorite Easter candy!
I used a hollow chocolate bunny and Robins Eggs Whoppers candy to decorate and my chocolate frosting comes together in just minutes.
I hope you all have a blessed Easter 2021!
