You will need:

1 (10 oz.) box Drake’s Mini Pound Cakes

Blue buttercream frosting – store bought or click here for my recipe

White buttercream frosting – store bought or click here for my recipe

Graham crackers (about 3 full crackers)

Blue and white pearl sprinkles

Shell and starfish sprinkles

#47 (basketweave) piping tip

#32 (small open star) piping tip

Disposable piping bags

Palm tree or beach drink umbrellas

Directions for Mini Beach Pound Cakes:

First, with blue buttercream and basketweave piping tip #47, pipe 3 rows of waves across half of the pound cake to look like water.

Then, crush the graham cracker in a food processor or put them in a zipper bag and crush with a rolling pin until they are fine crumbs.

Next, spread a thin layer of white buttercream frosting on the other half of the pound cake.

Now immediately sprinkle the graham crackers over the white frosting for sand.

Then pipe a line of white buttercream between the sand and the water using the #32 open star piping tip.

Finally, add beach sprinkles and a paper umbrella.

These cute individual mini cakes are perfect for a beach themed party, a summer treat or a picnic! Kids will love to create them too, you can skip the piping tips and simply spread on the frosting to look like waves. Try mixing the blue and white frosting a little too for a water effect!
