Chocolate Cake:

• Allow cake to cool completely before decorating.
• We made this recipe quick and easy with a box cake mix and store-bought frosting, but feel free to substitute with your favorite from-scratch chocolate cake and frosting recipes!

Carrots & Carrot Patch Decoration:

• Prepare your Wish Farms Strawberries for dipping by rinsing each berry and drying thoroughly.
• Line a cookie sheet with wax paper and place the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl.
• Heat the candy melts in 30 second intervals, mixing well between each interval, until completely smooth.
• Dip each strawberry in the candy melts as far up to the calix (green leaves) as you can get.
• Place the dipped strawberry on the wax paper. Once they’re all dipped, use a spoon to drizzle more orange candy for a striped look.
• Transfer the strawberries to the fridge for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
• Once the chocolate cake is completely cooled, cover the top of the cake with chocolate frosting and then sprinkle with a layer of Oreo crumb “dirt”.
• Place your dipped strawberry-carrots in desired rows, submerging each about halfway down into the cake and cookie “dirt”.
