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”.
