Just Ducky Tub Birthday Cake
Ingredients
· 2 3-ounce boxes of Berry Blue Jell-O gelatin
· 2 9- by 13-inch cakes
· 2 16-ounce tubs of white frosting
· Licorice pipe
· 2 large marshmallows and 8 mini marshmallows
· Decorators' gel
· 1 or 2 small rubber ducks

Instructions
1. Prepare both boxes of gelatin according to the Jiggler recipe on the
packages. Pour the mixture into an 8-inch square pan and chill it. Halfway
through the chilling time (about 45 to 50 minutes), whisk the gelatin
vigorously to create ripples and bubbles, then let it finish chilling.
2. Stack the cakes, spreading a thin coating of icing between them. Trim
the corners to create more of a rounded tub shape. Next, carve out a 1
1/2-inch-deep basin, using a knife to first outline it and a spoon to scoop out
the cake. Leave a 2-inch-wide border around the sides and end of the tub and a
slightly wider border where the faucets will go.
3. Frost the tub, including the walls but not the floor of the basin. Now,
for a faucet, turn the licorice pipe upside down and insert the thin portion of
the stem into the wall of the basin, as shown.
4. For each faucet knob, use kitchen scissors to snip 4 V-shaped notches
in the top of a regular-size marshmallow, then gently press a mini marshmallow
into each notch, as shown. The freshly cut marshmallow surface will be sticky
enough to keep the pieces in place. Place the knobs atop the cake and use
decorators' gel to label them H and C and outline the bases.
5. Spoon the Jiggler water into the basin and set the duck or ducks afloat.
