Easter is just a few weeks away. Here is a fun treat to make for any get together.
This is a very easy, colorful and delicious cake to make for your grandchildren (or children) for Easter.
I created this for a JELL-O baking contest a few years ago. It did not win the contest, but won my grandchildren’s praise.
Another big hit is my decorated Easter sugar cookies. They are not fancy but my children and grandchildren love them.

What a beautiful cake and I love that it is easy! There is always enough to do at Easter! Really like the jelly bean decorations, too!
Thank you. I made that so many years ago for a Jello contest but didn’t win. It was really moist and the kids liked it so I pulled it out of the archives. I would love to do a bunch of retro recipes sometime.
