White Buttercream Frosting
Yellow Cake~Baked (9×13)
16 ounces bag White Chocolate Morsels

Purple, Yellow Gold, and Green Sugar Topping
White Buttercream Frosting
1/2 cup Solid Vegetable Shortening
1 stick Butter (softened)
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Make frosting by mixing together the butter and
shortening until combined. Add vanilla.
Add sugar a cup at a time until completely mixed
together. Add milk a teaspoon at a time until you
reach your desired consistency. Divide the frosting
in to 3 equal portions. Color each portion. One green,
one yellow, and one purple.
Crumble your baked yellow cake into 3 separate bowls.
Take some of the yellow frosting and add it to the
bowl of crumbled cake. Mix it together with your
hands until all of the cake is yellow. Do this again with
the green and the purple.
Scoop the cake frosting mix using a small
scoop on to a cookie sheet. Then roll the scoops into
balls as shown above.
Melt your white chocolate in a double boiler.
Start dipping the cake balls in the white chocolate.
Place back on parchment.
Sprinkle the tops of the cake balls with
green, yellow and purple sugar.
Allow them time to dry completely.
