Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1 tsp fresh grated lemon zest or 1 tsp orange zest
  • 6 -8 drops food coloring (you will need 3 colors)
  • 12 -15 square fruit decorative candies (i used starburst)

Directions:

  1. Move the oven rack to the lowest position. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. (Do not grease or flour your tube pan and do not substitute a fluted Bundt pan).
  2. In a large bowl, beat the cake mix, water, and lemon/orange peel on low for 30 seconds and medium for 1 minute.
  3. Divide the batter evenly among three small bowls.
  4. Gently fold in 6-8 drops of food coloring in each, being careful not to deflate mix.
  5. Layer the batters in a 10-inch tube pan (anything smaller will overflow).
  6. Using the end of a wooden spoon, poke a few holes around the cake to tie-dye it. (The best way I found to do this is to stick the spoon handle straight down and pull it straight up.).
  7. Bake 37-47 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the cracks feel dry.
  8. Don't underbake.
  9. Immediately turn the pan upside down on a bottle (something glass, like a soy sauce bottle or a wine bottle) to cool.
  10. Leave to cool for 2 hours.
  11. Run a knife around the edges to release and place on the serving platter.
  12. Spoon 1/2 the frosting into a microwavable bowl and microwave for about 15 seconds or until frosting can be drizzled.
  13. Drizzle over cake.
  14. Place remaining frosting in a sandwich baggie and snip just enough of the corner (or use a writing tip) to make a VERY VERY thin line.
  15. Pipe a ribbon and bow on each candy square to look like a present.
  16. Arrange on top of the cake.
  17. Store loosely covered at room temperature.
