Steps:
- Heat oven to 350° F. Spray 2 (8-inch) round cake pans with cooking spray; line bottoms with cooking parchment paper circles.
- Make cake batter as directed on box. Stir in food color. Divide batter between pans. Bake about 30 minutes or until tops spring back when touched in center and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on cooling rack 10 minutes before turning out and cooling completely.
- Meanwhile, remove marshmallows from cereal box to bowl, and set aside.
- Trim off rounded cake tops. Place one layer on cake plate; drop a few tablespoons frosting on center of cake. Spread frosting evenly over cake; top with second layer. Drop about 1/3 cup frosting onto top cake layer, and spread over top and down sides in thin layer to create a "crumb coat-it's totally fine if you get crumbs in this frosting layer; this acts to seal in the stray crumbs before a final frosting.
- Refrigerate crumb-coated cake 1 hour. Pile remaining frosting on top of cake, and spread evenly over top and sides, making as smooth of a frosted surface as possible. Decorate cake with marshmallows by placing them in neat rows around outside of cake. To decorate top of cake, start with a single marshmallow in center, and encircle it with rings of marshmallows until cake is completely covered in marshmallows.

Steps:
- Place the milk and 1 cup of the cereal in a medium bowl and let sit until the milk takes on the cereal flavor, about 30 minutes. Strain the milk and discard the cereal. Set the milk aside.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir continuously until melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 3 cups cereal until coated.
- Press the mixture into a 9-inch springform pan and let cool completely at room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Combine the gelatin with 1/4 cup water in a small microwave-safe bowl and set aside to soften, about 5 minutes. Beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, sour cream, lemon juice and vanilla together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until completely smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the cereal milk. Continue to beat on low until completely incorporated, about 1 minute.
- Microwave the gelatin, stirring as needed, until melted, about 30 seconds. Add the gelatin to the cream cheese mixture and beat on medium speed to combine, about 30 seconds. Pour the cream cheese mixture on top of the cereal crust and smooth out the top if needed. Refrigerate until completely set, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
- Evenly divide the white chocolate among 3 small bowls. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until boiling. Remove 2 tablespoons of the cream to a small bowl and color with the yellow food coloring, then pour over the chocolate in one of the bowls. Color another 2 tablespoons of the cream with the blue food coloring in the same manner and pour over the chocolate in another bowl. Color the remaining 2 tablespoons cream with pink food coloring and pour over the last bowl of chocolate. Let all three bowls of chocolate sit for 5 minutes, then stir until completely smooth.
- Open the clasp of the springform pan to unmold the cheesecake. Drizzle the colored chocolate in alternating sections around the edge. Sprinkle more cereal on top of the cake in a ring inside the colored-chocolate edging. Pipe or dollop whipped cream inside the cereal circle and top each dollop with a Lucky Charms® marshmallow.

Tips:
- For the cake batter, use room temperature ingredients to ensure proper mixing and a smooth batter.
- To achieve a moist and fluffy cake, do not overmix the batter. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Bake the cake layers according to the recipe's instructions, and use a toothpick to check for doneness. Insert the toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Allow the cake layers to cool completely before assembling the cake. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
- For the frosting, use softened butter to ensure a smooth and creamy texture. Beat the butter until light and fluffy before adding the powdered sugar.
- To achieve a vibrant green color for the frosting, use high-quality green food coloring. Add the food coloring gradually until you reach the desired shade.
- When assembling the cake, use a generous amount of frosting between the cake layers and on top of the cake. This will help to keep the cake moist and flavorful.
- To decorate the cake, use Lucky Charms cereal, gold sprinkles, and a leprechaun hat cake topper.
