2 pkg (1 lb, 2.5-oz size) yellow cake mix
4 eggs
4 pkg (6.5 oz size) fluffy white frosting mix
Assorted jelly beans

1. Prepare cake mix as package label directs, using 4 eggs and amount of water specified on label. Bake in 4 (9-inch) layer-cake pans. Turn out; cool. Trim tops to make level.

2. Cut 5-inch and 3-inch circle from one of the cake layers. Set both circles aside.

3. Make frosting as package label directs.

4. On plate, put 3 (9 inch) layers together with 1/2 cup frosting between each layer.

5. Frost bottoms of 5-inch and 3-inch circles. Put layers together, 3-inch layer on top, then center them on 9-inch layers.

6. Spread sides of 9-inch layers with frosting. With tines of fork, make wavy vertical lines in frosting around side of cake.
