DIRECTIONS

1.Heat oven to 350 degrees. Coat one 8-inch round baking pan with baking spray with flour. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.

2.Prepare cake batter according to package directions using water, oil, and egg whites. Beat in food color until completely blended. Spread half of the batter in prepared round pan. Divide remaining batter evenly into prepared muffin cups. Bake cupcakes 19 to 23 minutes and round pan 34 to 38 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes. Remove from pans to wire rack to cool completely.

3.Cut round cake about 1 inch off center into 2 pieces. Place smaller piece on platter to make fish face, rounded edge toward outside edge of platter. Arrange cupcakes in four rows (row one = 3 cupcakes, row two = 4 cupcakes, row three = 3 cupcakes, row 4 = 2 cupcakes) directly behind the cut edge of cake to form body of fish. Using larger piece of round cake, make a 2-inch straight cut from center point of cut edge toward the uncut edge. Cut from both cut outside edges to end point of the straight cut to make two triangles. Place triangles next to cupcakes to resemble top and bottom fish fins. Place remaining piece of round cake to make fish tail.

4.Frost face, tail, and fins with blue frosting. Frost cupcakes with white frosting. Sprinkle candy bits from blue frosting over cupcakes, on fins, and back edge of tail. Blend remaining white and blue frosting. Place in decorating bag fitted with medium star tip. Squeeze bag to create decorative accents on cake, as desired. Decorate cake with various candies to accent face.
