Original recipe yields 12 servings
1 pkg. (2-layer size) white cake mix
food coloring: 8 drops red or blue, 1 drop each green and yellow, divided
4 ring-shaped butter cookies
2 small gumdrops
1 container (16 oz.) ready-to-spread vanilla frosting
5 Tbsp. assorted sprinkles (flat-candy dot and pearl ball)
Let's Make It
1
Heat oven to 350ºF.
2
Prepare cake batter as directed on package; spoon 2 cups batter into 10-cup fluted tube pan or 10-inch tube pan sprayed with cooking spray.
3
Spoon 1/2 cup of the remaining batter into small bowl; tint with red food coloring for baby girl, or with blue food coloring for baby boy. Spoon colored batter into resealable plastic bag. Snip one corner off bottom of bag; use to pipe colored batter into ring in center of plain batter in pan. Carefully spoon remaining plain batter over batters in pan, completely covering tinted batter.
4
Bake 36 min. or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan 10 min. Loosen cake from sides of pan with knife; invert onto wire rack. Gently remove pan; cool cake completely.
5
Meanwhile, melt white chocolate as directed on package. Pour half into separate bowl. Tint chocolate in one bowl with green food coloring; tint remaining melted chocolate with yellow food coloring.
6
Dip 2 cookies in bowl of green-tinted chocolate, turning to evenly coat both sides of each cookie. Place small gumdrop in hole in center of 1 cookie. Place both cookies on parchment-covered plate. Repeat with remaining cookies, gumdrop and yellow-tinted chocolate. Refrigerate 15 min. or until chocolate coating is firm. Place gumdrop-filled green cookie perpendicular to plain green cookie to resemble pacifier, securing with remaining green-tinted chocolate. Repeat with remaining coated cookies to make second pacifier. Refrigerate 10 min. or until firm.
7
Meanwhile, melt semi-sweet chocolate as directed on package; cool slightly. Spoon into resealable plastic bag. Snip corner off one bottom corner of bag; use to pipe question marks halfway onto 5 lollipop sticks on parchment-covered baking sheet. Refrigerate until ready to use.
8
Mix frosting and COOL WHIP until blended; spread onto cake. Insert stick-ends of chocolate question marks into cake. Decorate with sprinkles and pacifiers.
