Make the Most of This Recipe With Tips From The Betty Crocker® Kitchens:
To remove cake from pan, place cooling rack over pan. Carefully turn over; lift off pan.
Create an attractive display by covering a piece of sturdy cardboard with wrapping paper, then plastic food wrap. Stretch and secure with tape. Or cover cardboard with foil or cooking parchment paper.
Use 2 white candy melts or coating wafers instead of frosting to make the white part of the eyes.
