Birthday Cakes for Kids: March 2005

Birthday Cakes for Kids

With four little girls in our house, we have a lot of fun. One way we have fun & save few dollars is to make our own birthday cakes. They choose the theme and I do my best to make it happen. I'm not the best yet, but I am getting better. This blog is for me to share my ideas with you and also for you to share yours with the rest of us do-it-all moms.

Polly Pocket Beach cake

This was so fun to make! I used two 9x13 cakes. I made the icing from the Baking 911 recipe files. It was more than enough for this big cake. The beach sand is made from graham cracker crumbs and Florida Crystals DEMERARA. Very yummy! It was actually far from being perfect, but it was perfect for us.

I had the hardest time finding a hula girl for the cake, so I settled for this set of Polly Pocket accesories. It was a cute cake & Erin loved it.

****Here is another mom's version of the Polly Pocket Beach cake. It was a big hit at the party.
Thanks Tamara!
