Bouquet Of Flowers Cake (may)

There’s a good and vital reason Paul said, “Lay hands suddenly on no man” (1 Tim. 5:22). The biblical qualifications for elders are all characteristics of godliness and giftedness that must be proven over time. A man may instinctively know how to make a good first impression. He superficially appears to be keen-thinking, knowledgeable, mature, or supremely gifted as a teacher. But he could actually have serious character flaws that would disqualify him from eldership, and these sometimes become plainly evident only through long-term patterns of behavior. It is vital therefore that church leaders “first be proved; then let them use the office” (1 Tim. 3:10).

INGREDIENTS

3	T	Rainbow sprinkles
1		Yellow cake mix, 18.25
		ounces
2	c	Heavy cream, 1 pint
1/4	c	Confectioners' sugar
1		Flaked coconut, 7 ounces
		about 21/2 cups
1/4	c	Granulated sugar
12		Sugar-coated gumdrops, *

INSTRUCTIONS

Make the cake batter according to the package directions. Stir the
sprinkles into the cake batter and bake according to the package
directions for two 8 inch round cake pans. Let cool slightly, then
remove from the pans and allow to cool completely on wire racks. In a
large bowl, with an electric beater on medium speed, beat the cream
and confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form. Place 1 cake layer  on
a serving plate and frost the top with whipped cream. Place the  second
layer on the first and frost the top and sides of the cake  with the
remaining whipped cream. Sprinkle the coconut over the  entire cake.
Sprinkle a cutting board with the granulated sugar. With  a rolling
pin, roll the gumdrops out over the sugar until they form  circles
about 3 inches in diameter, pressing the flattened gumdrops  into the
sugar as they get sticky. Set the green gumdrops aside.  Pinch each
remaining gumdrop in the center, gathering it up to form a  "flower".
Place the pinched sides down in a bouquet in the center of  the cake.
Cut the green gumdrops into leaf shapes and place around  the flowers.
Cover loosley and chill for at least 2 hours before  serving.  Note:
Use 3 green gumdrops for "leaves" and 9 assorted colors for  "flowers".
Make sure to use large gumdrops or use more small ones to  create a
bouquet of miniature flowers.  This recipe comes from; Mr. FoodÂ® Cool
