You can purchase a tombstone shaped cake pan at most cake decorating
supply or large craft stores.
Mix and bake cake according to directions on cake mix box. Let
cool. Remove from cake pan and lay on a flat cake board. A little
trick is to cover the board with aluminum foil or parchment paper
and you can take the slices off easier.
Decorate according to direction that came with the cake pan. Using
disposable pastry bags for frosting makes clean-up easier. Using
a frosting spatula available at craft and cake decorating stores
makes applying frosting easier, too. You can use canned frosting
or make a simple frosting like this one:
1 cup of shortening
2 cups of powdered (confectioners) sugar
1 teaspoon meringue powder
1 tablespoon cold water
Using a hand mixer, blend the ingredients together until silky
smooth. Separate into bowls and use paste food color to make the
needed frosting colors.
