Now, Rob must have eaten my cake is a measure of confidence. It means that I

am extremely confident that Rob did this at some time in the past. When we
change the modal verb, we change the level of confidence. For example, Rob
can't have eaten my cake. This means I think this is impossible. But I know he did
it.

Let's make it less certain. Rob may have eaten my cake. This means it's possible.
Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. I'm not sure. And the same for might. Rob might
have eaten my cake. Finally, at the lowest level of confidence, meaning this is
possible but I'm not %100 sure at all: Rob could have eaten my cake. But that's
not true because Rob must have eaten my cake. Rob always eats my cake. I
suppose it's my fault.

The last set of modal verbs that we can talk about is should. When we make a
mistake in the past. This is called hindsight. So, maybe I shouldn't have left it…
(alarm) I should have been a bit quicker… Maybe I shouldn't have left it in the
fridge. Maybe I should have put my cake at my desk.  But Rob – come on man.

Now, Rob ________________ my cake

must has eaten 
must have eaten 
must has ate 
must have eaten

For example, Rob can't have eaten my cake.

Rob can't have eaten my cake.
Rob can has eaten my cake.
Rob can't has eaten my cake.
Rob can have eaten my cake.

Let's make it less certain. Rob may have eaten my cake.

may have eaten
may has eat
may have eaten
may has ate

I should have been a bit quicker…

should has being
should has been
should have being
should have been

Maybe I shouldn't have left it in the fridge.

shouldn't have left
shouldn't has left
shouldn't have leave
