Ghostly Pirate Cake

• 1 package white cake mix (regular size)
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 4-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 5 tablespoons 2% milk
• 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 red Fruit Roll-Ups, unrolled
• Sweetened shredded coconut and black food coloring
• Assorted candies of your choice ( Fruit by the Foot fruit roll, M&M's, black licorice twists, caramels, plain chocolate bar, dark purple Gummi Life Saver, red-hot candy and gold candy coins)

1. Prepare and bake cake according to package directions, using two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to cool completely.
2. Cut two pieces from the lower edges of each cake, forming a pirate's head (save small pieces for another use).
3. For frosting, in a large bowl, beat butter until fluffy. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla; beat until smooth.
4. Place one cake layer on a serving platter; top with 1/2 cup frosting; top with second cake layer. Frost top and sides with remaining frosting.
5. For pirate's bandanna, place Fruit Roll-Ups over top edge of cake. Tint coconut with black food coloring; sprinkle over chin for goatee. Decorate pirate's features with assorted candies.
