1. Ingredients
- 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 pkg. (4 serving size) JELL-O Brand Berry Blue Flavor Gelatin
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 (8 ounce) tub COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed
- 56 OREO Mini Bite Size Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
- 6 TEDDY GRAHAMS Graham Snacks
- 5 ring-shaped chewy fruit snacks
- 4 bite-size fish-shaped chewy fruit snacks
2. Cooking Directions
- Prepare and bake cake mix in 13x9-inch baking pan as directed on package. Cool completely. Invert cake onto large platter; remove pan. Using a serrated knife, cut and scoop out a shallow rectangle from center of cake, leaving a 2-inch border of cake on all sides and a thin layer of cake on the bottom. Reserve removed cake for snacking or other use.
- Stir boiling water into dry gelatin mix in large bowl at least 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in cold water. Refrigerate 1-1/4 hours or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites). (Or, see Tip below for quicker set method.) Pour thickened gelatin into center of cake. Refrigerate 3 hours or until set.
- Frost borders of cake with whipped topping. Decorate with remaining ingredients as desired to resemble a swimming pool. Store leftover cake in refrigerator.
Yield: 15 servings

Notes:
Fun Idea
Insert bite-size fish-shaped and octopus-shaped chewy fruit snacks into gelatin 'pool' before refrigerating for an added treat!
Shortcut
For a quick-set gelatin, simply add 4 cups ice cubes to the dissolved gelatin mixture in place of the 1 cup cold water; stir 8 min. or until gelatin begins to thicken (spoon drawn through leaves a definite impression). Remove any unmelted ice. Pour thickened gelatin into center of cake; continue as directed.

Great Idea -- Kids loved it!!
tqb44 - April 10, 2008 07:59:36 AM PSTI made this for my daughter's birthday and she and her friends loved it. It was a little messy after we cut it, and the kids didn't eat a lot of it, but it was a beautiful cake.
