Bake the cakes and allow them to cool completely.
While the cakes are baking and cooling, prepare the frosting.
Trim the domes off the cakes, if any, to ensure they are levelled.
Place one cake on a serving dish.
Spread icing on top.
Place the other cake on top and press gently to secure it into place.
Ice the entire cake smoothly in frosting.
Start sticking black Twizzlers all around the sides of the cake. I had to cut Twizzlers in half with scissors to match the height of the cake. You may need to do that too.
Wrap a bright orange ribbon around the cake to hold Twizzlers in place. Without this ribbon, some of the Twizzlers were falling over.
Spread yellow and orange candies on top of the cake. I also cut up some leftover yellow and black Twizzlers into little pieces and tossed those on top.
Toss some more yellow Twizzler bits around the base. Enjoy!

- Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Please note that candies may become sticky from the moisture in the refrigerator.
