How to Make Sunflower Centerpiece

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, oil, and water. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  3. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
  5. Once cooled, frost the top of the cake evenly with the thawed whipped topping.
  6. Sprinkle the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies around the edges of the cake to create the 'sunflower seeds'.
  7. Melt the milk chocolate chips and semisweet chocolate chips separately. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the whipped topping in a circular pattern to create the 'sunflower petals'.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
