1 Preheat oven to 150°C/130°C fan. Line oven tray with baking paper. 2 Split each cake in half. Secure one cake round to cake board with a little frosting; spread ⅓ cup of the frosting over cake, top with another cake round. Repeat with ⅓ cup of the frosting and one more cake round. (Reserve remaining cake round for another use - you could use it to make cake pops.) Spread remaining frosting over side and top of cake.
3 Place lollipops in plastic sandwich bag; using a rolling pin or meat mallet, gently smash lollipops until broken into pieces; discard sticks. Place lollipop pieces onto oven tray; place in oven for 5 minutes or until melted and edges are starting to brown.
Cool on tray; set aside until needed.
4 Carefully cut Flakes in half crossways. Break melted lollipops into large shards. Using picture as a guide, arrange shards on cake to form a campfire; arrange Flake halves around toffee for logs. Position chocolate fingers around side of cake.
