Glittery Gift Cake

Grease 13*9″ pan; line with waxed paper & grease again. Prepare cake
as directed in recipe or according to pack directions. Cool slightly;
carefully remove cake from pan. Remove waxed paper from cake; cool
completely. Invert cake onto large tray or foil covered cardboard.
Frost sides & top. To prepare ribbons & bow, in small saucepan
combine vanilla chips & corn syrup. Melt over low heat until mixture
is smooth, stirring constantly. Refrigerate 15-20 minutes or until
mixture is firm enough to knead. Knead until smooth. Divide mixture
into 2 parts, making 1/4 & 3/4 portions. Knead a few drops of green
food coloring into 1/4 of mixture. Wrap in plastic wrap. Knead a few
drops red food coloring into 3/4 of mixture. Place red mixture
between 2 sheets of parchment paper or on surface sprinkled lightly
with powdered sugar; roll out mixture into 16*6″ rectangle. With
knife or pastry wheel, cut lengthwise into 3/4″ strips. Place strips
on cake to resemble ribbon on a package; fold additional strips to
form bow. Roll out green mixture as directed about to 1/8 inch
thickness. Using holly leaf cutter, cut out 8 leaves. Score veins
with tip of knife. Tuck leaves around bow for garnish. Sprinkle
ribbon & leaves with edible glitter.

TIPS: Edible glitter is available at kitchen specialty shops.
