1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray three 8-inch round cake pans with baking spray.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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!
