I’ve made this before and it IS super easy! I had a problem with the peeps sliding off though, so I would use toothpicks or something to secure them on!
Heidi says
Great tip, Sarah!

I have made this before and used raspberries for the center (not a sunflower, but still cute). You can also use pink, blue or purple peeps and golden raspberries for the center too.
angela says
You can also make this and use twinkies for the sunflower petals, I think it takes 2 boxes of twinkies and you will need a really large board or something to put it on.. it’s huge. But oh so cute!
Patti says
So cute, clever and affordable since all you’re really purchasing beyond “normal purchases” is the peeps!
erica says
Soooo cute!!! Made a sunflower cake once with twinkies as petals but this is adorable! Will be making this for 2 Easter get togethers! Thanks so much for sharing this!
