This can be found by using the perimeter of the cake minus the perimeter of the side with no icing. The reason why I used the perimeter is because this where the icing is.
4(x+y+z) - 2(x+y)
4(6+8+5) - 2(6+8) = 76-28=48.
I think you're over counting the corners.

I might be but I am too lazy to check. I kind of just based on it on easy way to calculate. It's late at night.
