Updated May 19, 2022

Ingredients

Cupcakes

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Devil's Food Cake Mix
  • Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
  • 1 tub 16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Vanilla Frosting
  • Blue food color

Fishing Poles

  • 24 cocktail straws
  • 24 pieces dental floss
  • 24 Betty Crocker™ Shark Bites™ chewy fruit snacks (2 to 3 pouches)

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Make and cool cake as directed on box for 24 cupcakes.
  • 2
    Stir together frosting and 2 or 3 drops food color. Frost cupcakes with blue frosting; pull up on frosting, using metal spatula, so frosting looks like waves.
  • 3
    To make fishing poles, cut each straw to make one 3-inch piece. Cut dental floss into 3 1/2-inch lengths. Attach piece of dental floss to end of each straw, using needle, to look like fish line. Attach 1 fruit snack to end of each piece of dental floss. Decorate each cupcake with a fishing pole. Store loosely covered.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Keep the party theme going by serving blue raspberry punch with “fishy” ice cubes. Place 1 Shark Bites® chewy fruit snack in each section of an ice-cube tray. Fill with ginger ale or water, and freeze until solid.
  • tip 2
    Find out what the party boy or girl’s favorite cake flavor is, and use that instead of the devil’s food cake mix.
