Beach, Picnic & Pool Party Cakes, Cupcakes and Cookies!

 

Who knew that a
horse shoe cake pan
or two could be the
perfect water slide?



Bake two horseshoe cakes and position
together in an "S" shape.
Generously ice tip blue.

Ice sides brown then pat with
granulated brown sugar.

For the slides you can use a pvc pipe cut
in half lengthwise (can be cut for you
at a hardware store).
Frost inside blue to resemble the water.

For the Sand Towers:
Either stack cupcakes or cookies with frosting
between so they will hold together.
Frost brown and pat with brown sugar
to cover all sides and top.

Inner Tubes:
use mini chocolate donuts
(if they are too tall then cut in half
lengthwise keeping their round shape
and you then have two tubes from each donut.



For kids in inner tubes

Follow the countour
of the inner tube and pipe tip 2A torso
and head like images below for pool kids,
tip 9 legs and arms, tip 4 swim clothes,
tip 2 dot hands, feet, fingers,
toes and facial features.


For pool kids

90 angle to pipe the upper torso
like shown in the photo above.
