Present Cake

I got this idea from the familyfun website. There's lots of other fun cake ideas there, but this one takes practically no time, and it looks so cute.

What you'll need:
A 9x13 cake (any flavor is fine)
1 tub frosting (once again, any flavor works)
3 rolls of Fruit by the Foot
Any circular candy you want (In the picture above are Skittles; the original recipe called for Sprees - do what works for you!)

Directions:
1. Cook the cake according to package directions. Remove cake from pan. Cool completely.
2. Frost the entire cake and sides.
3. Measure out a 16" piece and a 12" piece of Fruit by the Fruit. Lay the 16" piece length-wise across the frosted cake, tucking the ends underneath. Lay the 12" piece width-wise across the frosted cake, tucking the ends underneath. (Use a small spatula to lift up cake when tucking under the ends.)
4. Create two 8" loops of Fruit by the Fruit, and two 5" long streamers, with notches at the bottom, of Fruit by the Foot for the bows. Place on cake. Cut small oval out of Fruit by the Foot and place in center of bow.
5. Randomly place candies all over the remaining part of the cake.
