If you’re planning a big summer bash, top it off with this cake straight from the beach.
You Will Need
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. graham cracker crumbs
1 c. cookie crumbs
1 9" round cake
1 8" round cake
1 6" round cake
Frosting
3 large waffle cones
2 small waffle cones
2 small cake cones
Assorted candy sea shells
Graham cracker sticks
Plastic bag
Icing spatula
Turntable or lazy Susan
Rolling pin (optional)
Step 1: Make the "sand" 制作“沙子”
Combine the brown sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and cookie crumbs in the plastic bag and shake it to thoroughly mix the sand.
Step 2: Frost each cake 冰凍每塊蛋糕
Apply the frosting to each cake using the icing spatula and a turntable or lazy Susan to turn the cake as you work.
Step 3: Cover in sand 把“沙子”覆蓋在蛋糕上
Cover each cake with “sand” while the frosting is still tacky. Don’t forget to tap some along the sides for full coverage.
Chill the cake in the refrigerator to solidify the icing before adding decorations.
Step 4: Stack cakes 把蛋糕從打到小堆起來
Stack them from largest to smallest, slightly off center.
Step 5: Erect large turrets 把大塔豎起來
Erect waffle cone turrets. Invert the large cones so the point end is up and gently press each one into the top tiers of the cake.
Step 6: Construct small turrets 制作小塔
Spread frosting on the inside of each cake cone and then insert the small waffle cones with the tip up. Press them into the cake along the bottom tier.
Step 7: Accessorize 裝飾蛋糕
Break the graham cracker sticks to make rocks and then add the candy seashells. Finally, sprinkle any remaining sand over the whole cake.
