1. Heat oven to 350°F. Generously grease bottom only of 1 1/2-quart round casserole or heatproof bowl and bottom only of loaf pan, 8 1/2x4 1/2x2 1/2 inches.
2. Beat cake mix, water, oil and eggs in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds; beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl constantly. Pour half of the batter into casserole; pour remaining batter into loaf pan.
3. Bake about 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around side of casserole and loaf pan to loosen cakes; remove from casserole and pan to wire rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Wrap and freeze loaf cake for another use.
4. Place cake, rounded side up, on serving plate. Frost cake with frosting. Make face on side of cake, using cookies for eyes, red gumdrop slice for nose, red shoestring licorice for mouth and black shoestring licorice for eyebrows and antennae. Sprinkle red sugar over cake to within 2 inches from curved edge of face. Place black gumdrop slices on cake for spots.
