Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  2. Grease and flour a 12x17 baking sheet with edges or jelly roll pan.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, prepare the cake mix according to the instructions on the package.

  4. Bake the cake according to the instructions on the package, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

  5. Set the cake aside to cool.

  6. In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the butter until it becomes light and fluffy, which should take about 2 minutes.

  7. Add the powdered sugar and beat on the lowest speed until combined.

  8. Beat in the milk, maple extract, and salt.

  9. If the frosting is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.

  10. Pour the frosting on top of the cake and use a butter knife to spread it into an even layer.

  11. Using the gel icing, draw three lines lengthwise on the cake - one on the top, one in the middle, and one towards the bottom. These lines will represent the strings for your string lights.

  12. Place 8 peanut M&Ms on the first line, 9 on the middle line, and 9 on the bottom line. These will serve as your light bulbs.

  13. Pipe a letter of the alphabet under each light bulb.

  14. Serve the cake.
