Celebrating a beach-themed birthday gives you the ability to display your creative decorating prowess with a cake. Decorating a cake for a beach theme isn't too difficult, and it gives you the ability to experiment with different types of frostings, fondants and other pieces that add to the cake's appearance. In fact, a beach-themed cake can be enjoyed on several occasions that call for the whimsical, breezy ambiance of oceanic influence. Decorating a beach-themed cake can be useful for a luau birthday or a picnic party in the grass. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
1. Frost the entire surface of the cake with a sand-colored frosting. Specialty flavors of frosting, such as praline, almond or maple, come in this color.
2. Squeeze a wavy line of blue gel frosting from one corner of the cake to the other, diagonally. Fill in one side of this line with solid blue gel. This creates the look of a sandy beach with water.
3. Place a couple of small beach chairs made for dollhouses on top of the beach part of the cake. Use clean, unused furniture. Place a similarly colored cocktail umbrella near each furniture piece.
4. Place a couple of colorful gum balls throughout the "sand" on the cake. These can serve as either pretty "rocks" or beach balls.
