Ingredients

• Butter cookies, for serving
• Nonstick cooking spray
• 1 box (16.5 ounces) yellow cake mix (plus ingredients called for on package for batter)
• 1 tub (16 ounces) vanilla frosting, plus 1 additional cup
• 1 bunch grapes, cut into small clusters
• 1 large pasteurized egg white, lightly beaten
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• Powdered sugar, for dusting
• 1 package (24 ounces) rolled red fondant
• Yellow food coloring
• 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper and coat with nonstick spray. Prepare cake batter according to package directions and divide evenly between pans. Bake as directed on box.
2. Cool cakes in pans 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Using a serrated knife, trim tops of cakes at an angle for a rounded shape.
3. Place one cake layer on parchment paper, trimmed side down. Spread with frosting, top with second layer (trimmed side up). Frost entire cake, reserving 1 cup frosting. Freeze at least 30 minutes.
4. Make sugared grapes: Brush clusters lightly with egg white, sprinkle with granulated sugar. Air-dry 1 hour at room temperature.
5. Dust work surface with powdered sugar. Roll one-quarter of red fondant to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut an 8-inch circle; place on parchment and center frozen cake on it.
6. Knead scraps into remaining fondant; roll into 13-inch circle, 1/8-inch thick. Drape over cake, smooth gently, and tuck edges under. Trim excess at base. Cut a wedge slice from cake.
7. Tint reserved frosting pale yellow with food coloring. Spread over exposed cake in wedge. Rub fondant lightly with oil for shine. Place on serving board; garnish with butter cookies and sugared grapes.
