Bake cake. Prepare three white cake mixes, separately, following recipe instructions. Using Pink icing color, tint two prepared cake mix batters pink.
Toss ½ cup chocolate chips in one tablespoon flour. Add to one of the pink batters. Repeat with remaining chocolate chips and flour. Add to second pink batter.
Tint remaining prepared cake mix batter green using color combination provided. Combine Kelly Green, Leaf Green and Lemon Yellow icing colors to get green cake batter color shown.

Prepare decorating bag with melted black candy; cut ¼ in. off tip of bag.
On waxed paper-covered cake board, pipe seeds. Chill until set, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Tint icing. Tint 1¼ cup white icing pink using color combination provided. Combine Christmas Red and Pink icing colors to get pink icing color shown. Reserve remaining icing white.
Prepare two decorating bags, separately, with tip 1A. Prepare one bag with pink icing, the other with white.

Using remaining white icing and spatula, ice sides of cake smooth, leaving top of cake un-iced. Chill until set, about 20 minutes.
Step 5
Prepare sanding sugar. On long edge of pan, sprinkle horizonal line of dark green sugar, at least ¼ in. thick and measuring ¾ in. wide. Repeat with light green sugar, making a line 1¼ in. wide. Repeat with granulated sugar, making a line about ½ in. wide. Repeat with pink sugar, making a line about 4½ to 5 in. wide (1 cup).
Helpful Hint: Using the icing smoother to help keep your sugar lines straight.
