This was the main cake that I baked for Lucas's 10 years old Birthday party. And it was really well received by all his friend,my relatives and friends..
I have been keeping this M&M Ocean cake recipe long time ago (can't remember where I got this), when I refer to M&M website, i couldn't find the link.
So I just copy and paste this recipe in here, I also made few changes on it:-
M&M Ocean Cake
(printable recipe)
Ingredients
•1 bag MILKY WAY® Brand Miniatures –I omitted this•1 bag M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies
•1 bag M&M’S® Brand Peanut Chocolate Candies
•2 18.25-oz. boxes favorite cake mix-use my own recipe, refer to basic sponge cake •3 cans vanilla frosting-use my own recipe, refer to Vanilla buttercream
•Food coloring (blue, green, red & yellow)
•1 cup Chinese noodles- I use Yee Mee
•2 cups ground cookie or cake crumbs
•3 8-inch round cake pans- I use 9” round cake pan
Directions
1.Unwrap the MILKY WAY® Brand Miniatures, and chop all but two of them.-I omitted this
2.Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions. - I baked sponge cake
3.Fold in the chopped candy, before transferring the batter to 3 8-inch cake pans. .-I omitted this4.Bake for 30 minutes in a preheated 350-degree oven.- I baked sponge cake
5.Set 1/2 cup of vanilla frosting aside.-I prepared Vanilla buttercream6.Using blue food coloring, tint 1-1/2 cans of the remaining vanilla frosting to the desired shade of blue.
7.Once the cake layers are cooled, sandwich blue frosting between the layers
8.set one layer on a plate and frost its top; then set the second layer on top of the first layer and frost its top; then set the third layer on top of the second layer.- I only made two layers, apply a layer of blueberries jam
9.Spread the top and sides of the cake with swirls of both blue and white frosting, to give the cake a water-like color.
10.Swirl the frosting on the top of the cake with the back of a spoon, pulling each swirl so that it looks like a wave.
11.Decorate the side of the cake.
12.here are some suggestions:
13.* Divide the remaining can of vanilla frosting into three small bowls. Tint one bowl green, one red and one yellow. Transfer each color to a reasealable plastic bag. Snip the corner of each bag.
14.* Make the schools of M&M’S® fish:
15.- Press a school of about 4 or 5 green M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies into the side of the cake. Pipe fins and tails with green frosting.
16.- Press a school of 3 or 4 orange M&M’S® Brand Peanut Chocolate Candies, and pipe red fins and tails.
17.* M&M’S® lobsters: Use a red M&M’S® Brand Peanut Chocolate Candy for the body. Then, place red M&M’S® for the tails and claws. Pipe the claw M&M’S® with red frosting to outline its detail.
18.* M&M’S® seahorse: Use a yellow M&M’S® Brand Peanut Chocolate Candy for the body. Place a yellow M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candy to the top of the "body", and pipe a yellow frosting tail and snout.
19.* Sea grass & coral: Pipe green frosting onto the sides of the cake for sea grass. Then, press Chinese noodles into the sides of cake for coral.
20.Decorating the sea bottom:
21.* Sprinkle the cake with cookie crumbs all around like sand. Scatter M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies around the cookie crumbs.
22.* Make a treasure chest: Trim off the top of one MILKY WAY® Brand Miniature.- I omitted this23.Place a second MILKY WAY® Brand Miniature on top like the top of a chest, keeping the lid open.- I omitted this
24.Fill the center with yellow M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies as if they were gold!-I omitted this
**my note- you may also turn this to cup cake form, just place one decoration for each cup cake.
-sea horse, sea grass, coral (Chinese noodle)
-lobster
-fishes

What a wonderful cake! Am still finding my fish cookies. My girl love small cup cake. She said small one better n easier to eat :)
Anncoo, I baked using 9" round cake pan
Gertrude, ya, this is a lot of works, I woke up at 6am to make this cake, hehehe..
Ling, Thanks for stopping by, this was not my idea.
Jane, turn this into cup cake, apply butter cream on the cup cake, decorate fish or lobster or seahorse per cup cake, this is just my suggestion if you can't find the fish cookie.
What a cool cake! You are an awesome mom!!
伟大妈妈baked a beautiful cake with lots of love and passion and patience! Very nice - the cake really fulfils the ocean theme!

Happy flour, Thanks for stopping by. You too did a lot of great jobs like this.
Lily, Thanks.
Katherine, no, the butter will not melt, I done this cake in the early morning, wait till night the butter still not melted. Just keep in room temp and store in a big cake container. Not to store in the fridge as the butter will turn hard.
Rebecca, Thanks.
Colin, Thanks.
Lorraine, Thanks for stopping by.
