Cake Monday

Cake Monday

As another school year comes to an end, so does #cakemonday. Yesterday was our last one of the year.

Summer break is upon us …….time to break out the flip flops…….Flip Flop Cake!

I wanted to make a special cake for our last #cakemonday. Once again my friend Pinterest came to the rescue. Well ,Pinterest and Betty Crocker! Click here for the Betty Crocker recipe and video on how to make these cute flip flops.

I used my Best Ever White Cake recipe. The Betty Crocker version uses a cake mix, but any cake will do.

 

I was able to find a template for the flip flops searching on Pinterest……..there were a ton of them different sizes, so pick whatever one suits you.

The decorations were pretty basic and Tim had the awesome idea to use licorice for the straps…..great idea honey!!!! The “sand” was a combo of brown sugar and turbinado. I bought some sunny….non edible flowers and sea shells.

Flip Flops on the beach……they were a huge success for our last #cakemonday of this year………
