Number Of Ingredients 10

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ cake mix (any flavor*)
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
Tray or cardboard (18x15 inches), covered with wrapping paper and plastic food wrap or foil
1 1/2 containers Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy or Whipped vanilla frosting
Green food color
Yellow food color
1 roll Betty Crocker™ Fruit Roll-Ups® strawberry chewy fruit snack rolls
4 fudge-striped cookies with chocolate-covered bottoms
1 tube (0.68 oz) Betty Crocker™ brown or black decorating gel
8 ring-shaped hard candies

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Make and bake cake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around side of pan to loosen cake; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. For easier handling, refrigerate or freeze 30 to 60 minutes or until firm.
  • Cut cake as shown in diagram. Tint 1/3 cup of the frosting with 3 drops green food color. Arrange pieces on foil-covered tray to form skate as shown in diagram, trimming pieces to fit. Attach pieces of cake with frosting. Frost with a thin layer of frosting to seal in crumbs. Refrigerate or freeze 30 to 60 minutes to set frosting. Frost entire cake.
  • Outline inner throat and tongue of skate with toothpick. Tint 2 tablespoons white frosting with 2 drops yellow food color; frost inner throat. Frost tongue and back of throat with green frosting. Use fruit snack to form brake, strap and back of throat. Make 4 slits in bottom edge of blade, and insert cookies for wheels. Outline skate and blade with decorating gel. Use ring candies for eyelets and wheel axles. Cut 1/4-inch-wide strips of fruit snack and use for laces. Store loosely covered.
