Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Make and bake cake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around side of pan to loosen cake; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. For easier handling, refrigerate or freeze 30 to 60 minutes or until firm.
2 Cut cake as shown in diagram. Tint 1/3 cup of the frosting with 3 drops green food color. Arrange pieces on foil-covered tray to form skate as shown in diagram, trimming pieces to fit. Attach pieces of cake with frosting. Frost with a thin layer of frosting to seal in crumbs. Refrigerate or freeze 30 to 60 minutes to set frosting. Frost entire cake.
3 Outline inner throat and tongue of skate with toothpick. Tint 2 tablespoons white frosting with 2 drops yellow food color; frost inner throat. Frost tongue and back of throat with green frosting. Use fruit snack to form brake, strap and back of throat. Make 4 slits in bottom edge of blade, and insert cookies for wheels. Outline skate and blade with decorating gel. Use ring candies for eyelets and wheel axles. Cut 1/4-inch-wide strips of fruit snack and use for laces. Store loosely covered.

This cake was a big hit with my teenage son who is into "jam" skating. However, he uses traditional roller skates, so I cut out two boots from the cake and made a pair, eliminating the blade and wheels. I then used chocolate donuts for tradional wheels. Other than that I followed the decorating guidlines, and it turned out great. Thanks for the inivative idea!
