You'll want to keep your eye on this remote control cake: like its electronic counterparts, it's likely to disappear before you know it.
Slightly trim the long sides of a baked 13- by 9-inch cake or brownie to resemble a remote control.
Spread on a layer of Dad's favorite frosting, then press on various candies (we used Skittles, M&M's, and Spree candies) for control buttons.
Finally, use gel icing to add numbers, arrows, or other symbols to some of the buttons.
