Life's a Beach Cake

Cake's such a fun medium - there's always the challenge of how to use decorations that are all edible, and what other forms of art are even half as delicious to eat?

The original idea of using jello inside the cake as water was from Kraft's
JELL-O "Dive-on-In" Cake
.

For the beach theme, I used canned frosting instead of Cool Whip and graham cracker crumbs for the sand. (The canned frosting was denser to adhere the crumbs to the cake. The crumbs were from crushed Teddy Grahams, who sadly, did not make it to the beach.)

Chewy fruit rings were used as inner tubes, and I cut some up for lounge chairs and beach balls.

Life's a beach - live it up!
