   Tip: For a checkerboard decorating idea--cut out five 2-1/2-inch paper squares. Place the squares in each corner, and one square in the center of the cake. Dust the entire surface of the cake with confectioner's sugar. Carefully remove the paper squares from the cake and discard. Pipe letters in the center of each brown square. Outline the outside edges of the squares with frosting. Arrange M&M'S(R) Brand Milk Chocolate Candies around the edges.
