Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix, plus ingredients called for on box
- 1 stick softened butter
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp. maple extract
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- Black gel frosting
- 26 Peanut M&M's
Directions
- Step 1Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Step 2Make the Sheet Cake: Grease and flour a 12"-x-17" baking sheet with edges or jelly roll pan. In a large mixing bowl, prepare cake mix according to package instructions. Bake according to package instructions, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Set aside to cool.
- Step 3 Make the Maple Frosting: In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat butter until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add powdered sugar, beating on the lowest speed until combined, then beat in milk, maple extract, and salt. If your frosting isn't thin enough, add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time. Pour frosting on top of cake, using a butter knife to smooth into an even layer.
- Step 4Using the gel icing, draw three lines longways on the cake, on the top, middle, and towards the bottom—these will be the strings for your string lights. Next, place your peanut M&Ms, 8 on the first line, 9 on the middle, and 9 on the bottom. These will be your light bulbs. Pipe a letter of the alphabet under each light. Serve.
