Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Make and bake cake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around sides of pan to loosen cake; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Place cake in freezer 30 minutes before cutting to reduce crumbs.

    In large bowl, mix frosting and food color to desired color. Using serrated knife, cut rounded top off cake to level surface; place cake top side up. Use toothpicks to mark sections of cake to be cut. (See link below for template.) Cut cake into crown shape. Place on serving tray.
  • Step 
    3
    Frost with thin layer of frosting to seal in crumbs. Freeze about 30 minutes to set frosting. Frost entire cake.
