Time 2h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
Blue food color
1 container Betty Crocker™ Whipped fluffy white frosting
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
4 gumdrops
4 Betty Crocker™ Fruit by the Foot™ chewy fruit-flavored snacks (from variety pack of different colors)
1/4 cup multicolored small goldfish-shaped crackers
Rock candy, if desired
1/2 bar milk chocolate candy, with or without almonds, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F. Generously grease Nordic Ware® Castle Bundt® cake pan with shortening and lightly flour, or spray pan with baking spray with flour.
  • Make cake batter as directed on box. Pour batter into pan.
  • Bake 33 to 43 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Using a long serrated knife, trim cake even with top of pan, if necessary. Turn pan upside down onto cooling rack; remove pan. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Place cake on 12- to 15-inch serving plate, tray or piece of cardboard covered with foil. Stir 8 to 10 drops blue food color into frosting. Spread frosting around base of cake to look like water. Sprinkle brown sugar around frosting on plate to look like sand.
  • Place gumdrops on top of each tower. Cut long flag-shaped pieces out of fruit snack with sharp knife or kitchen scissors. Roll fruit snack around 4 toothpicks to make flags; insert toothpicks into gumdrops. Arrange crackers and rock candy in frosting, and add chocolate bar, upside down, for drawbridge as shown. Store loosely covered.
