Notes
Tip
The 340g pack should give you enough smarties of each colour to do one cake in the proper colours.
Tip
Don’t ice more than 4 hours before serving because the smarties go soggy.
Variation
A gluten-free cake mix can be used for this cake, although the smarties are not strictly gluten-free.
Storage
The cake can be made the day before and iced a few hours before serving.
