SKATEBOARD CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Generously grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan. Generously grease bottom only of 1 (9-inch) round pan. Place paper baking cup in each of 12 regular-size muffin cups.
• Make each cake mix separately as directed on box using water, oil and eggs. Pour one prepared batter into the 13x9-inch pan. Pour half of the second prepared batter into the round pan. Divide remaining batter evenly among 12 muffin cups. Bake each as directed on box. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Use cakes for skateboard; wrap and store cupcakes for future use.
• Cut the round cake in half vertically so you have two half circles. Place 13x9-inch cake on large cake platter or cake board. Frost short ends of cake. Place round cake halves on each short side of the 13x9-inch cake to make a skateboard shape. Use 1 cup of frosting to thinly coat entire cake to seal in crumbs. Refrigerate cake 30 minutes to set frosting.
• In medium bowl, mix 2 cups remaining frosting with neon green food color until desired color. Frost entire cake with the green frosting. In small bowl, mix the remaining frosting with blue food color until desired color. Make stripes with blue frosting. Cut shapes from fruit roll candy to resemble flame as shown in photo. Trim doughnut bottoms to sit flush to cake. Place doughnuts on top of skateboard to form wheels. Slide pretzel rod between doughnuts.

SKATEBOARD CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare cake batter as directed on package; pour into one 9-inch round cake pan and one 13x9-inch baking pan, making sure that the level of batter in each pan is the same. Bake as directed on package for each pan size. Cool in pans 5 min.; remove to wire racks. Cool completely.
• Spread tops of 4 of the vanilla creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookies with some of the icing; top each with second vanilla creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookie to resemble a skateboard wheel. (You will have a total of four "wheels.") Attach one set of cookie wheels to each end of the wafer cookies with the remaining icing; set aside.
• Place rectangular cake on large board or platter. Cut round cake crosswise in half; position one half at each short side of rectangular cake, with cut side of round cake against side of larger cake as shown in diagram to resemble a skateboard.
• Tint whipped topping with food coloring to desired color; spread onto tops and sides of cakes. Sprinkle a few drops of food coloring randomly over top of cake; carefully cut through food coloring with palette knife or spatula for marble effect. Decorate with chocolate pieces as desired. Use gel to write desired message on cake. Store in refrigerator. Arrange wheels on top of cake just before serving.
