  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.

  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!
