shark cake

We’re in the middle of developing our spring line and we’ve just designed our “deep blue sea” invitation.

I have to admit, it may be my new favorite. We’ll likely launch it this coming Monday and I’ll make sure and link it here. But in the meantime, I thought I would share a cake that would be perfect for this fun celebration.

You’ll need a few ingredients:

• 1 pound cake baked in a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan
• 1 large (5-inch round) sugar cookie, from bakery
• 1 large gumdrop, any flavor
• Black food coloring
• 1 can (16 oz) vanilla frosting
• 1 roll red fruit leather (Fruit Roll-Ups)
• ¼ cup mini-marshmallows
• 2 Junior Mints
• 1 tube black decorating icing

And a few tools:

• Blue food coloring
• Bread knife
• Serving platter
• Serrated knife
• Kitchen shears or scissors
• Resealable sandwich-size plastic bag (Ziploc)
