I got an order for sat. for a 12" cake... beach theme... she likes the idea of flip flops... HELP!! ive seen the flip flop cake.. do you think i can make one of those.. and just put 1 flop on the cake?
if so.. how do you make these cakes?? or if anyone has any other ideas?



thank you!!

If it were me.... I'd bake the 12" cake.... and do your thing with the icing/ filling...etc.... Then I would make a batch of MMF.... and break a few pieces off for the strap part..color this to whatever color you need... and some flowers to put where the toe thingy goes........make the bottom of the flipflops white.or a lighter color....or whatever.....if you have some impressin mats...give it some texture.... make them at least 1/2" thick...they don't have to be gigantic.... That's what I would do anyways.... the MMF is real easy to make....and I think I'm going to be a big fan of it...
Hope this helps you..

Hi momofthree! I did a small cake for someone that had a beach theme last week. I loved the idea of the flip flops, but knew there would not be enough room on the cake to cut them out of pound cake. So what I ended up doing was this...I traced the souls of my 3 year old's shoes to make a pattern. I frosted my cake like normal and let the icing crust. Then I did a gel transfer of just the souls side by side on the cake. I then traced them with buttercream and filled them in with tip 16 stars(hot pink). Then I used some edible pearls for the straps...but you could use icing. I then put graham crackers around the shoes for sand. It looked sooooo cute and the little girl loved it! I wish I had a picture to show you, but I have not yet developed the film! Anyway, I hope that all made sense!

Those flip flop cakes are really popular now! I haven't tried one, but I'll have to soon! Let us know how it turns out!

Those cakes ARE adorable and I was so hoping my 12 year old would want a luau theme for her b-day july 30th since we have a pool and I own some great decorations for it...but she wants an Oriental themed party Oh well...I am sure we will have fun with it..and it is what she wants

Hi momof3! I did the whole flip flop pink....but you could make any design...maybe dots or flowers! I know you will do a great job! I can't wait to see pics! Anyway...I will have to wait about a week to look...we are moving tomorrow and I will not have DSL until the 11th!
