Directions:

  1. After unwrapping all Mini Pound Cakes, use the #47 piping tip and blue buttercream frosting to pipe 3 rows of waves across half of the pound cakes to look like water. You can also spread the frosting with a butter knife.
  2. Next, crush the graham crackers with a food processor or rolling pin until they are fine.
  3. Using a butter knife, spread a thin layer of the white frosting on the other half of the pound cakes.
  4. Immediately sprinkle the graham crackers over the white frosting for sand.
  5. Next, pipe a line of white buttercream using the #32 open star piping tip between the "sand" and "water" on the pound cake.
  6. Lastly, add the beach-themed sprinkles and decorations of your choice!
