Recipe For Sand Pail Cake:

Ingredients:
– 2 boxes of your favorite cake mix (such as vanilla or yellow cake)
– Eggs, oil, and water (as per the cake mix instructions)
– 2 cups of butter, softened
– 6 cups of powdered sugar
– 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
– Blue and yellow food coloring
– Gummy fish and sea creature candies
– Crushed graham crackers
– Shredded coconut
– Cocktail umbrellas
– Toy shovel and rake (for decoration)

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the cake mix boxes. Grease and flour two round cake pans.

2. Prepare the cake batter according to the package instructions. Divide the batter equally between the two cake pans.

3. Bake the cakes in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely.

4. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until light and fluffy. Set aside a small portion of the frosting for later.

5. Add a few drops of blue food coloring to the majority of the frosting, mixing until you achieve a soft, beachy blue color.

6. Level the tops of the cooled cakes if necessary. Place one cake layer on your serving platter. Spread a layer of blue frosting on top.

7. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining blue frosting. Leave some frosting to create the sand effect on top.

8. In a small bowl, mix a few drops of yellow food coloring with the reserved frosting to create a sandy color. Spread the sand-colored frosting on top of the cake, leaving some blue frosting visible around the edges.

9. Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers on top of the sand-colored frosting to create a realistic sandy texture.

10. Decorate the cake with gummy fish and sea creature candies, shredded coconut to mimic waves, and cocktail umbrellas for a tropical touch. Add the toy shovel and rake on top for a playful finishing touch.

11. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set the decorations before serving.
