Directions:

2. Put cupcake liners in a cupcake pan.
3. Carefully, put 4 drops of blue food coloring in the white frosting container to make the water .
4. Pour cake batter into liners and bake according to times on the cake mix box.
5. When cupcakes are baked and cooled, spread the blue frosting over the tops.
6. Next, grab a cherry or orange slice and put a toothpick on to flat side of the boat .
7. With the toothpick, poke a hole in the paper rectangle or fruit leather rectangle. Put your Mayflower boat on top of the cupcake.
