Candy Corn Poke Cake

By srumbel

Today I’m sharing a festive cake with you that will put a smile on everyone’s face – except the candy corn haters, but you can leave the candy corn off of their piece. Better yet, if you love candy corn, find as many people as possible who hate it so you never have to share. Makes for a sweet friendship!

Ingredients

• 15 oz box white cake mix (and the ingredients that go with it such as eggs, water and oil)
• 3 oz box orange flavored gelatin
• 3 oz box lemon flavored gelatin
• 16 ounce tup Whipped Topping, or 2-3 cups homemade whipped cream

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare cake mix according to package directions and bake in a greased 9x13 baking dish. Allow cake to cool completely.
After cake has cooled, use the end of a wooden spoon to poke rows of holes, about an inch apart, all over the top of the cake.
In a medium sized bowl, place ½ cup boiling water and stir in orange gelatin until completely dissolved. Add ½ cup cold water and stir until blended. Repeat for the lemon gelatin.
Pour the orange gelatin into every other row of holes on the cake and then go back and pour the lemon gelatin on the remaining rows.
Ice cake with cool whip or homemade whipped cream. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled. Garnish with candy corn before serving. Store in the refrigerator.
