Easter Egg Cake

Recipe 44...if you can call it that, haha.
Okay, so this really isn't a recipe per-say. It's a super cute way to add a little flair to your dessert, and sure way to get everyone complimenting your creativity. Because I used box cake mix and pre-made icing, this recipe really couldn't be any easier.

1 box          Duncan Hines white cake mix, prepared as per package instructions & divided evenly into 4 bowls
2 cans         Duncan Hines cream cheese white icing
                  food coloring (red, blue, green, yellow)
                  chocolate mini eggs
                  round sprinkles in light easter colors

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare and divide the cake mix into 4 bowls. Add a few drops of red and yellow food coloring to one batch of cake mix. Stir to make a pink base. In another bowl, add equal parts blue and red coloring to make a purple base. Add green to another batch of cake mix and yellow to the last remaining batch. Pour the batter into 4 round cake pans and bake for about 15 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Place cakes onto a rack and allow to cook for about 30 minutes.
Decide on the order you want to assemble the cake and stack them, spreading a layer of icing in between each layer. Ice the cake and arrange mini-eggs around the bottom and tops, and then shake some sprinkles on top! Piece of cake ;) Enjoy!
