1 x 400g jar of chocolate spread (I used the Tesco value one)
2 packets of Cadbury white chocolate fingers
2 packets of Cadbury milk chocolate fingers
your choice of 5 sweets/chocolates - you will need to buy the large bags of each )although there will be some left over for snacking on another time!)
piece of ribbon
Instructions
pre heat the oven to 180oC / 160oC (fan)
grease and line 2 x 8 inch sandwich tins
cream the butter and sugar together for about 5 minutes until pale and soft
add the eggs and a spoonful of the flour and beat for a few more minutes
fold in the remaining flour and the cocoa powder
divide the batter between the two tins and then cook in the oven for 22-25 minutes approx
leave the cakes to cool
divide your Smarties into 8 pots to hold each different colour
once the sponges are cold to the touch, make your frosting by beating the cream cheese and chocolate spread together
sandwich the two sponges together with some of the frosting
then cover the cake with the remaining frosting (you might not need it all)
Then go around the cake and stick on the chocolate fingers - alternating between the white and milk chocolate fingers
Then place 4 fingers (2 of each type) on top of the cake to make 4 sections.
Taking your choice of sweets and chocolates, add them to each section. I used a 5th selection to sit in the middle of the cake, as there was a gap between the 4 chocolate fingers ( see photos) . I then added some chocolate jazzies to act as a barrier if you like, to help keep the sweets inside their section (again see photos)
carefully tie a piece of ribbon around the cake to make it look pretty, and help keep the fingers in place
