Ingredients

• 1 baked 12-inch round cake
• 4 cups white frosting
• 1/2 cup each purple, blue, orange, yellow, green and pink frosting

• 1 cup red frosting
• 60 gumballs, 10 of each frosting color

Instructions

1. Frost the cake white. Using a ruler and a knife, lightly mark a six-pointed star. Frost each section a different color and frost the center red.

2. Let the cake sit for a few hours so the frosting forms a crust. Use a marble to make indentations, then set in the gumballs.

3. Tip: If you don't have a 12-inch cake pan, use two 12-inch disposable pizza pans instead. The sides of a pizza pan are lower, so use two pizza pans for one batch of batter.
