Heat oven to 350. Grease 15 1/2* 10 1/2* 1" jelly roll pan; line with
waxed paper; grease paper. Prepare cake mix according to pack
directions for "lite" recipe, beating in orange peel. Pour batter
into pan; bake 20 minutes or until wooden pick comes out clean. Cool
cake in pan at least 15 minutes. Invert onto board covered with waxed
paper; lift off pan; peel away paper from bottom of cake. Cool
completely. While cake cools, from lightweight cardboard, cut

1/2" sides; 3" base, 4" sides; 2 1/2" base, 3 1/2" sides; 2 1/4"
