Ingredients

  • 2 boxes yellow cake mix with pudding
  • Water, oil and eggs called for on cake mix box

Frosting

Decorations

  • 4 chocolate doughnuts
  • 2 pretzel rods
  • Fruit-flavored snack rolls, if desired

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    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.
  • Step 
    2
    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.
  • Step 
    3
    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.
  • Step 
    4
    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.
