Directions

• Follow the instructions on the box of cake mix. Pour into a large jelly roll pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 325F for 15 minutes. Check for doneness and cool completely.
• Use a Cake Level to cut off off the top of the cake leaving the exposed crumb. Cut the cake in half.
• Add a thin layer of jam to one half of the cake. Add the second half over top with the crumb side down on the jam and the bottom is now facing up.
• Cut into 1 squares.
• Place the cut squares over a wire rack with the jelly roll pan underneath to catch the runoff.
• Melt the Frosting at 50% power for 30 seconds in the microwave. Thoroughly stir the melted frosting until it is thin and flows without lumps. Add any food coloring now and stir to incorporate.
• Pour over the prepared squares doing your best to coat all sides. Decorate with sprinkles while still wet. Allow to completely dry (about an hour) before gently removing and adding to a serving tray.
• Option 2 -
• Use small cookie cutter to cut our fun shapes. My cutters were too skinny to cut through two layers of cake, so I sandwiched them after cutting them.
• Place the cake sandwich on a fork and drizzle the melted frosting over top allowing the frosting to fall back into a container. Carefully transfer to a wire rack to decorate, drip and dry.
