What you'll need:
- 1 bag M&M'S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies
- 3 TWIX® Brand FUN SIZE® Bars
- 3 yellow STARBURST® Brand Tropical Fruit Chews
- 1 16-oz. box pound cake mix
- 1 16-oz. can vanilla frosting

- Printable template (part 2 of 2)
What to do:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the pan with wax paper, grease and flour.
- Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions. Transfer the cake batter to the prepared pan and bake until golden, about 20-25 minutes. Transfer to the wire rack and let cool completely.
- Using the printable template, cut the cake, making an "artist’s palette". Cover the top and sides of the cake with vanilla frosting. Make a continuous ring of M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies around the outside edges of the cake. Then, using the cookie cutter, mark 5 circles around the cake. Make a continuous ring around the circles using different colors of M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies. Decorate the inside of each circle with a matching color of decorating gel. With the chocolate decorating frosting, pipe an oval to look like a handle.
- Form the TWIX® Brand FUN SIZE® Bars in a straight line for a paintbrush handle. Snip the ends of the STARBURST® Brand Tropical Fruit Chews, and place them as brushes at the end of the TWIX® Brand FUN SIZE® Bars.
