For my daughter's 8th Birthday she decided to have a "Teen Beach Movie 2" party. I knew we could have a lot of fun with a beach themed cake so I started scouring the internet for ideas. I found a cake to recreate and put together my shopping list!
This cake was fairly easy to do and if I'd planned better & started earlier it would have turned out even cooler! This cake was two tiers... the first tier I covered with light blue tinted marshmallow fondant. The second tier I frosted with buttercream and lined the outside with Pepperidge Farm Pirouette cookies. I then sprinkled brown sugar on the top of the second tier (sand), used Milk Duds as coconuts, a fondant surf board, pretzel rods for trees (with fondant leaves) and a drink umbrella just to be cute!
The thing I was most disappointed in was my trees. If I had done my tree leaves a day or two in advance and let them harden some, they would have looked more natural and I wouldn't have had to prop them up with toothpicks. But... all in all the cake turned out well. It definitely went with our party theme and Ginger loved it!
