With the seam at the back in the middle, and glue two of the Bubble Bath tabs on either side of the centre scoreline with the fold facing, but not right up against the scoreline and about an inch apart. Add two more opposite the two already in position on the other side of the scoreline. Add glue to the top of these tabs and place the label, decorated with the cake image on top. Hold in place until the glue has bonded. Repeat this for the smaller back panel using one tab on either side of the seamed scoreline. Add the smaller label.
