Photo: Life's A Beach Cake Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 purchased angel food cake
- 10 large marshmallows
- 2 containers vanilla frosting
- Blue food coloring
- 1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
Special Equipment:
- Pastry bag; large star tip, 3 paper umbrellas, jellied octopus candy, chocolate seashell candy
Directions
Place cake, wide side down, on serving platter. Fill hole in center of cake with marshmallows. Spread 1 1/2 containers of frosting evenly over top of sides of cake to coat completely. Stir food coloring, I drop at a time, into remaining 1/2 container of frosting until desired color is achieved. Transfer blue-colored frosting to pastry bag fitted with star tip. Pipe thick line of frosting around base of cake. Starting at base of cake and swirling in semicircular upward motion, drag wooden skewer through blue-colored frosting to form wave design. Arrange umbrellas on top. Arrange jellied candy octopus and chocolate seashells decoratively on cake. Sprinkle coconut around the base of cake.

I have "DVD night" theme parties where we screen a movie on DVD, and eat foods with whimsical names that match the evening's movies. This was chosen for Kevin Costner night. After considering Cake in a Bottle, The Untouchable-cake, Robin Hood: Prince of Cakes, Tin Cake, and Mr. Brooks' Imaginary Homicidal Friend's Beach-Themed Cake, the choice just jumped out at us in the 4 DVDs for $20 section: Life's a "Sizzle Beach, USA" Cake.
Oh: the cake tasted about the way one would expect, based on the ingredients, but it was still slightly better than Waterworld.

If this is something you would call a "recipe" or require to be able to get something food-like out of your kitchen, you'd probably be better off sticking with McDonalds "gourmet" hamburgers.
