Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine white cake mix, canola oil, milk, eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 15-18 minutes until a tester comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. For the frosting, cream together unsalted butter and marshmallow fluff. Gradually add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth.
  5. Cut the cooled cakes with an egg-shaped cookie cutter. Slice each in half, spread frosting on one half, and sandwich with the other.
  6. Chill the cakes in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes.
  7. Melt coconut oil and vanilla almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl. Dip each chilled cake into the melted bark.
  8. Decorate with melted colored almond bark and festive decorations or edible glitter.
