Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Make and cool cake as directed on box for two 8- or 9-inch round pans. Cut one round as shown in diagram. Freeze pieces uncovered 1 hour for easier frosting, if desired.
Arrange pieces on tray as shown. Frost head and ears with frosting, attaching pieces with small amount of frosting. Frost tie; sprinkle with colored sugars and outline with shoestring licorice.
Arrange cake balls on frosting for cheeks. Insert short strips of shoestring licorice into cheeks for whiskers. Outline eyes with shoestring licorice; add short strips for eyelashes. Use black gumdrops for pupils of eyes, pink licorice candy for nose, red gumdrop for mouth and gum for teeth. Cut striped gum into narrow pieces and place in centers of ears. Decorate with magician's hat and magic wand if desired. Store loosely covered.

I made this cake every year while my kids were growing up - they loved it. I stopped making it when they got older, but now that I have grandkids, I have started making it again. It's a hit every year!
