2-1/2 cups vanilla frosting
2 milk chocolate candy bars (1.55 ounces each)
27 nonpareil candies
12 pretzel sticks
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 drop blue food coloring
3 sticks Fruit Stripe gum

Press pretzels into cake on each side of bridge., In a resealable plastic bag, shake coconut and food coloring until coconut is evenly colored. Sprinkle around bases of castles to represent water in the moat. Cut each stick of gum in half widthwise; cut one end to form a flag.

Frost backs of remaining candies; place one on the front of each cone. Attach sprinkles to cones. Position cones on cupcakes.
