Treasure Chest

Allie and I used a square cake pan, baked about 2/3 or 3/4 of the batter the first time (to make the bottom) and the rest the second (for the lid). We frosted the bottom, then laid a sheet of wax paper on the frosting and piled the candy (candy necklaces and bracelets and ring pops) onto it, coming out the front and saving about 2-3 inches at the back to mount the lid. Then I cut a cardboard square to match the size of the lid, covered it with foil (like a chest liner) and frosted the cake lid on top of it. The cake lid held its weight on the candy...I didn't need to use anything else even though I had planned to use skewers to secure it. I used 5 brand gum sticks to make the brackets outside the chest.
