Pink Lemonade Cake ~

Last Spring, my Better Homes & Garden magazine featured a pink lemonade cake on it's cover and it called my name for Easter.  So, I tucked it away and put it on my list for this year's celebration.

The cake had four layers and was quite impressive looking. 

But, I wanted to make it easier, so I embellished a white boxed cake mix.  Talk about having your cake and eat it too!

I just followed the directions on the back of my box, and where it said the amount of water, I added 1/4 cup of pink lemonade and enough milk to substitute.

I kept the frosting almost the same as directed, but I eliminated the vanilla.

The picture on the magazine cover had thinly sliced lemons on top, but I wanted mine to be decorated more.  So, I put 2 drops of green food coloring in a plastic baggie and put in 1/2 cup shredded coconut.  I bought a small bag of jelly beans to decorate the cake as well.

It was a big hit, not only did it look pretty, it tasted wonderful.

Oh, and it was easy, another bonus.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter ~
