Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray three 8-inch round cake pans with baking spray.
Blend cake mixes, water, eggs, and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened, about 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Divide batter evenly into pans, about 2 1/2 cups each.
Bake 26 to 30 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on wire racks 15 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely.
Scoop about 1/3-cup white frosting into a freezer bag or piping bag. Scoop remaining frosting into a large bowl and use blue food coloring to dye it light blue. Place one cooled cake layer on serving plate, frost with a thin layer of blue frosting. Repeat with remaining cake layers. Frost entire cake with blue frosting. Decorate sides of cake with 4 PEEPS® Marshmallow Gingerbread Men and mini marshmallows.
Use a sharp knife to cut two of the graham crackers for the front and back of the house. You will need to cut at about a 45° angle about 2-inches from the top of each cracker. Break remaining crackers in half at the seams. Cut off a small corner of the bag with frosting and use the frosting to adhere the graham crackers together to form a house. Use any remaining frosting to add a door and windows, if desired.
Place house on top of the cake. Place remaining 2 PEEPS® Marshmallow Gingerbread Men and PEEPS® Marshmallow Trees on top of cake. Place gumdrops around the top edge of your gingerbread house cake, slice and serve!
