I'm not a big fan of gumdrops, but I loved this cake! The cake itself is so moist and flavorful, and the gumdrops add a nice chewy texture.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just because I used too many gumdrops. Next time I'll use half the amount.

This cake is so easy to make and it always turns out perfect. I love that I can use any kind of gumdrops I want. My favorite is to use a mix of cherry, lemon, and lime gumdrops.

I've made this gumdrop cake several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's so moist and flavorful, and the gumdrops add a nice chewy texture. I love that it's a one-bowl recipe, too.
