Treasure Chest Cake recipe and guide
Bake a rectangle and a cylinder from two packet mixes. The rectangle becomes the chest and the cylinder makes the curved lid, and the guide shows you how. Ice wood-brown, add the gold stripes, lock and key, then fill it with treasure.
Decorating your Treasure Chest Cake
Wood grain
Drag a fork lengthways through the brown icing to look like timber planks.

Treasure Chest Cake FAQs
What should I use for treasure?
Chocolate coins, lolly jewels and candy necklaces. Raid the lolly aisle.
Is it good for a treasure hunt party?
Perfect. Make finding the cake the final clue.
How many does it serve?
About 24 serves from two packet mixes (based on 12 serves per packet mix, depending on how generous your slices are).
How do I make the treasure look like it's spilling out?
Pile lollies on top of the chest and let a few tumble down the front onto the board. A trail of gold coins at the base makes it look like the chest is overflowing. The decorating set is all edible paper.
What goes with it?
Cupcakes topped with Shape Toppers make a matching pirate spread.
