When cooled, prick top of cake with fork and pour liqueur or chocolate syrup into the cake. Let soak in refrigerator overnight. Make chocolate pudding according to package directions and chill.   To create the dessert, crumble half of the cake into a glass bowl (a trifle  or punch bowl works well).

Place on waxed paper to cool. They should be dry to the touch when cooled. Tie with a bow around the middle. Apply sprinkles before the yogurt has dried for an even fancier touch (see picture, right).
