6. Remove outer ring from the cut cake, and place back into a 10" baking/cake pan. Remove two inch centre piece, and place in centre of baking/cake pan. Measure to make sure that the centre toothpick is in position.
7. Freeze remaining cake portion by placing into the freezer for 30-60 minutes.
8. Place a thin layer of cake batter on the bottom of the pan, between the two red segments. Use a small utensil to smooth the batter on to the bottom of the pan, creating a thin layer of cake batter.
9. When cake portion is frozen (step 7), remove from freezer and cut out angled slabs of cake. Using a maple leaf cookie cutter, cut out angled maple leaves. Place the maple leaves into the centre of the vanilla cake batter. Complete until there is a ring of maple leaves in the centre of the cake.
