Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Grease and flour both halves of an 8 ½ inch three-dimensional egg-shaped cake
pan.

¾ cup milk and use mixer to blend on low speed for 1 minute.
4. Add dry pound cake mix and beat at medium speed for 3 minutes.
5. Pour batter into one of the prepared half egg pans, filling halfway from top

Decorating Tip: To make neat rows, place jelly Belly jelly beans nestled side by
side.
To Arrange Centerpiece:
Place wheat grass on a decorative serving tray or large platter. Place egg cake
in grass, using the oval baking stand nestled in the grass for support. Create a
garden of pinwheels, butterflies and flowers by sticking bamboo skewers into
wheat grass as desired.
