This is a Fashionista Event and a promotional item was provided to me by Sweetworks. Hosts for this event are Still Blonde after all these Years and ModlyChic.
Oh, my goodness! I love my UPS guy most of the time, but I really really loved him this week. The day he delivered my Sweetworks package, Fabgrandpa came into the bedroom, where I was still snoozing, and woke me up to say “I think someone sent you a box of bricks.” It turned out to be 21 pounds of candy! Now, if you are like me, you get excited over candy, even in small amounts. And if that candy includes chocolate, well, then the excitement level only escalates in direct proportion to the amount of chocolate included.
So, because I know that Fabgrandpa and I couldn’t possibly eat all that candy, I decided to give most of it away. So, I started counting out how many children I could make happy that day. There were my 6 grandchildren: Parker, Spencer, Amelia, Owen, Sarah, and Michael. My nieces children: Stella, Kyleigh, Brodie, and Kathryn. And my neighbor’s children: Abi, Brady, Timmy, and Gracie. I threw in a bag for my sister as well, because it is her “birthday month”, and got to divvie-ing up all the candy. I wound up with 15 quart zip lock bags of Sweetworks Candies, including Sixlets; Gumballs; and Foil Wrapped Chocolates.
After I got all the candy counted out (yes, equal numbers in every bag because the Candy Fairy KNOWS that kids will argue if there is even 1 more nut in the bag the other kid got), I still had tons of candy left. What to do? Well, make a cake, of course!
This cake was so easy to do! Just use your favorite brand of cake mix, and prepare it according to package directions. (If you use Betty Crocker Gluten Free Cake Mix, you will need two boxes of mix if you want a two layer cake.) Use two tubs of your favorite ready to use white frosting, and generously frost the cake. After you spread on the white frosting, use 10 packets of red Sixlets, and 10 packets of blue Sixlets to make rings around the bottom of the cake. Then, Sprinkle one package of Star shaped candies on the top. Easy! And you have a cake for your 4th of July celebration! Or, use your imagination and any combination of Sweetworks Red, White, and Blue candies to make your own version of a sparkling cake.

I want to use gumballs because there is such a big variety to choose from and you could do so many things with them. And my kids would love them.
I’d love to use the Ovation Mint Sticks. They are quite universal. They could be used whole as they are, broken in half or quartered to make other types of decorations, or even crumbled as a topping (or even snacked on in between). I think they’d be perfect! The recipes above sounds so good though, I think I’d also like everything it takes to make those.
