10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
Set aside 2 to 3 tablespoons frosting for decorating. Place one container into a
bowl; tint red. Tint second container green. Place one cake layer on a serving
plate; spread with 1/2 red frosting to within 1/4 inch of edges. Top with second
cake. Frost top with remaining red frosting to within 3/4 inch of edges. Frost

Place reserve white frosting in a small plastic baggie, cut 1/4 inch hole in one
corner. Pipe around top edge of cake where green and red frosting meets. For
seeds, insert chocolate chips upside down into the cake top.
