1 cn Pillsbury Frosting Supreme
-Vanilla
6 oz Vanilla milk chips or
-vanilla candy coating
1/4 c Light corn syrup
Green food coloring

Grease 13*9" pan; line with waxed paper & grease
again. Prepare cake as directed in recipe or according
to pack directions. Cool slightly; carefully remove
cake from pan. Remove waxed paper from cake; cool
completely. Invert cake onto large tray or foil
covered cardboard. Frost sides & top. To prepare
ribbons & bow, in small saucepan combine vanilla chips
& corn syrup. Melt over low heat until mixture is
smooth, stirring constantly. Refrigerate 15-20 minutes
or until mixture is firm enough to knead. Knead until
smooth. Divide mixture into 2 parts, making 1/4 & 3/4
portions. Knead a few drops of green food coloring
into 1/4 of mixture. Wrap in plastic wrap. Knead a few
drops red food coloring into 3/4 of mixture. Place red
mixture between 2 sheets of parchment paper or on
surface sprinkled lightly with powdered sugar; roll
out mixture into 16*6" rectangle. With knife or pastry
wheel, cut lengthwise into 3/4" strips. Place strips
on cake to resemble ribbon on a package; fold
additional strips to form bow. Roll out green mixture
as directed about to 1/8 inch thickness. Using holly
leaf cutter, cut out 8 leaves. Score veins with tip of
knife. Tuck leaves around bow for garnish. Sprinkle
ribbon & leaves with edible glitter.

TIPS: Edible glitter is available at kitchen specialty
shops.

To keep parchment paper from slipping while rolling
out ribbons, tape to counter.
