PEEPS SUNFLOWER CAKE RECIPE: HOW TO MAKE IT - TASTE OF HOME

Peeps Sunflower Cake Recipe: How to Make It - Taste of Home image

The inspiration for this cake came from one of my favorite flowers, the sunflower. The yellow peeps make eye-catching flower petals, and I carefully placed chocolate chips in a circular pattern to resemble the seeds in the middle of a sunflower. This cake is easy, but looks quite impressive. —Bethany Eledge, Cleveland, Tennessee

Beet Cake Recipe: How to Make It - Taste of Home image

I found this recipe handwritten in my grandmother's well-worn cookbook. I've made it many times, and my four grandchildren love it (they think it's just a moist chocolate cake). It's especially appropriate for this contest because our state is known as the beet-growing capital.
