Instructions
-
Step1Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottoms only of 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with shortening or spray with cooking spray.
-
Step2Make cake batter using cake mix, water, oil and eggs as directed on box. Divide batter evenly between pans. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly in center. Remove cakes from pans to cooling racks; cool completely, about 45 minutes.
-
Step3Measure 1 cup frosting from 1 container into medium bowl. Stir in marshmallow creme. Place 1 cake layer on cake stand, cake plate or serving platter. Coat top of cake with half of the frosting mixture. Break 3 graham crackers into pieces; place on top of frosting. Cover graham crackers with remaining frosting mixture. Top with second cake layer. To remaining frosting in first container, stir in baking cocoa until well blended. Spread cocoa frosting over top of cake.
-
Step4Into large bowl, spoon frosting from second container. Add green food color a little at a time, stirring well until desired green color is achieved. Frost sides of cake with half of the green frosting. Break 6 of the remaining graham crackers in half to make 12 pieces. Line sides of cake with upright graham cracker halves; press into frosting to adhere. Use one-third of the bottle of green sugar to sprinkle around top edge of cake. Refrigerate cake 1 hour to firm up frosting.
-
Step5Pour remaining green sugar into shallow dish. To make trees, frost each ice cream cone with some of the remaining green frosting; roll in green sugar. Place cones towards back of cake; press cones into frosting with fingertip on pointed ends.
-
Step6To make tent, break remaining graham cracker in half at perforation; place 2 to 3 inches apart on top of cake, allowing cracker halves to prop against each other.
-
Step7To make flag, cut red gum drop in half; trim away sides of 1 half to make a triangle. Skewer triangle flag onto toothpick; press into cake at front of tent.
-
Step8To make campfire, cut each jelly bean lengthwise into quarters. Press pieces upright into cake to create flames. Crumble a bit of graham cracker; sprinkle over flames to resemble ashes. Break pretzel stick evenly in half; place halves crossed in front of flames.
-
Step9For cot, place chocolate bar on cake in front of tent. To make pillow, flatten marshmallow between thumb and forefinger; place at end of chocolate bar closest to tent.
