Gift-wrapped cake

Method 1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line the two cake pans with baking paper; grease and flour them.

Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions. Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack; cool about 10 minutes. Invert and let cool completely.

To make the ribbon pieces, soften Starburst Fruit Chews in the microwave about 3-5 seconds. Then roll the softened candy into a 20cm × 15cm rectangle between two sheets of baking paper. Cut the candy lengthwise into two strips, each 4cm inches wide. Fold the two strips in half, making loops of a bow. Notch the bottoms of the two remaining strips, making the bow's ribbons. Set aside.

Place one cake layer on a serving platter. Spread the top with a thin layer of frosting. Place remaining cake layer on top and cover with remaining frosting. Arrange the Milky Way Chocolate Covered Caramels around the base of the cake.

Mark the top of the cake with an "X", dividing it evenly between four equal squares. Arrange M&M's in three rows over the marks, on top and down the sides of the cake. Arrange the bow pieces in the cake's centre.
