- Once cool, place the 1-cup cake on top of the square cake. Place the cake on a large platter. Cover the cakes with vanilla frosting. Liberally sprinkle the cakes with ground vanilla wafers.
- Using the printable template, cut palm leaves from the green fruit leather. Place the leaves on top of 5 TWIX® Brand Miniatures with a dab of decorator’s frosting, making palm trees. Arrange the trees on the cake in a cluster. Dot brown M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies with decorator’s frosting, and attach them to the palm trees.
- To make crabs: Place three orange M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies in a "V" shape. Using the chocolate decorator’s frosting, outline claws on 2 M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies. Dot chocolate decorator’s frosting for the crab’s eyes. Make several crabs, and arrange them around the cake.
- Cut the gelatin into 1/2-inch cubes, and scatter the cubes around the cake as if they were water.
Note: You can also cut the palm leaves from poster board, and attach them to the TWIX® Brand Miniatures with a dab of decorator’s frosting.
