Tips & Warnings
When making a candy cake, experiment by adding different types of candy. Chocolate chips, M&Ms, peppermint candy, and other types, are also great tasting in a cake.
Don't overbake your cake. Use a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake to make sure it is done. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready.
