I'm looking for a beach themed cake - something that's not too difficult. I really just need a picture or a template to look at. icon_smile.gif

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

It would help to know what it is for, the age of the person, and how many you want to serve.

For sand you can use brown sugar or sanding sugar, with the rest blue buttercream. For palm trees you could have cookies in the shape of palm trees on lollipop sticks, and stick them in the cake(would work with a firmer batter so it would hold the stick, depending on the weight of the cookie). You could also use thick pretzel sticks with green fondant or royal icing leaves on top. For water you could stripe the bag with white and blue icing.

When i do beach theme's at work, i use chocolate icing for the sand and airbrush the water blue, or u could just use blue icing. Then i make palm tree's using the leaves tip, and put coconuts in the tree's. Then I make a big beach umbrella, and beach towel in the sand. You could even make a surk board in the sand too![/b]

Thats a great idea alicia, I was always thinking that the brown sugar would have to be scraped off somehow, otherwise that would be really really sweet!

Hey there,

I just did a beach themed cake for New Years.
I live in San Diego and have done a couple different renditions of this one before.
It was alot of fun.
