A friend made this one Xmas. Ended up giving me the cake . I do not like Gumdrop Cake But I love this one. Really the best I have ever had.The gumdrops really do have to be cut and floured the night before. You can get small ones now and don't have to cut those. Read more . Reason for doing the night before stops them from sinking to the bottom.
