TO BAKE A PIE IN A LAYER OF CAKE:

2) Prepare and each box of cake mix according to instructions.
3) Mix each box separately as each layer will require one box of mixed cake batter.
4) For each cake layer pour 1/2 of the batter in the cake pan.
5) Carefully de-tin the baked pie and place it face up on top of the batter in the cake pan. Pour the second half of the batter on top to cover the pie entirely. Bake cake according to box instructions but making sure it is VERY done. Cool and remove from pans then frost it like you mean it. Best to wrap the layer in saran wrap and refrigerate or freeze until frosting.

Tint frosting pink then fold all but pop rocks into frosting. Make sure not to over mix (the chocolate chips will smear). Stack and frost generously. Refrigerate after frosting.
Just before presenting cake to guests throw on the pop rocks. Just afet presenting the cake to guests, pour the contents of a lareg can of cherry pie filling over the top of the cake. Your guests will awe as it oozes over the sides.
