How to make a chevron cake

Before you break out the Twizzlers, you need to prime your cake. Spread a thin layer of frosting to seal in the crumbs?the pros call this a ?crumb coat.? Let the icing harden for 30 minutes in the fridge. Add a topcoat and you?re good to go.
1. For a graphic pattern, slice rainbow-coloured Twizzlers into small, equal pieces, making a diagonal cut on the ends (they should look like penne pasta).
2. Place the pieces on the sides of the cake so they form a chevron pattern. 3. Cut Twizzlers crosswise to make cute polka dots.
