Today we are celebrating the 146th Kansas Day. Kansas became a state on January 29, 1861. My son and I will spend the morning at the Kansas Historical Museum. If you would like to help Kansas celebrate and learn a little more about this fine state here is a sunflower coloring sheet, a Western Meadowlark, and a buffalo. Here is a sheet about our state symbols. You can even make your own Kansas flag.

I made this simple cake for my son’s class. The center is a chocolate cake made in a small cake pan or heat proof bowl. The petals are Twinkies–as many as you need for the kids. We added some chocolate chips to the frosted center, but you could also use chocolate sprinkles.

  1. I was looking for an easy way to make my Granddaughter a sweet sixteen sunflower cake and saw your idea with the twinkies and chocolate chips. What a great idea and so easy for me to do. Thank you so much. It is so cute. She will love it.

  2. Sending to my granddaughter who is room mother at Lincoln
    Elementary in St.Charles, Mo. School rules she would have to keep them wrapped, but perfect… thank you for sharing.
