Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Unwrap the MILKY WAY® Brand Miniatures, and chop all but two of them.
  2. Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions.
  3. Fold in the chopped candy, before transferring the batter to 3 8-inch cake pans.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes in a preheated 350-degree oven.
  5. Set 1/2 cup of vanilla frosting aside.
  6. Using blue food coloring, tint 1-1/2 cans of the remaining vanilla frosting to the desired shade of blue.
  7. Once the cake layers are cooled, sandwich blue frosting between the layers
  8. Set one layer on a plate and frost its top; then set the second layer on top of the first layer and frost its top; then set the third layer on top of the second layer.
  9. Spread the top and sides of the cake with swirls of both blue and white frosting, to give the cake a water-like color.
  10. Swirl the frosting on the top of the cake with the back of a spoon, pulling each swirl so that it looks like a wave.
  11. Decorate the side of the cake.
  12. Here are some suggestions:
  13. * Divide the remaining can of vanilla frosting into three small bowls. Tint one bowl green, one red and one yellow. Transfer each color to a reasealable plastic bag. Snip the corner of each bag.
  14. * Make the schools of M&M’S® fish:
  15. - Press a school of about 4 or 5 green M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies into the side of the cake. Pipe fins and tails with green frosting.
  16. - Press a school of 3 or 4 orange M&M’S® Brand Peanut Chocolate Candies, and pipe red fins and tails.
  17. * M&M’S® lobsters: Use a red M&M’S® Brand Peanut Chocolate Candy for the body. Then, place red M&M’S® for the tails and claws. Pipe the claw M&M’S® with red frosting to outline its detail.
  18. * M&M’S® seahorse: Use a yellow M&M’S® Brand Peanut Chocolate Candy for the body. Place a yellow M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candy to the top of the body , and pipe a yellow frosting tail and snout.
  19. * Sea grass & coral: Pipe green frosting onto the sides of the cake for sea grass. Then, press Chinese noodles into the sides of cake for coral.
  20. Decorating the sea bottom:
  21. * Sprinkle the cake with cookie crumbs all around like sand. Scatter M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies around the cookie crumbs.
  22. * Make a treasure chest: Trim off the top of one MILKY WAY® Brand Miniature.
  23. Place a second MILKY WAY® Brand Miniature on top like the top of a chest, keeping the lid open.
  24. Fill the center with yellow M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies as if they were gold!
