Luau Bikini Cake
by Dianna Armstrong
(Meridian, MS)
For a joint party we had a luau everyon wanted a different cake so we compromised. This one was for a 12 year old girl. We just baked a regular box mix in 2 square pans. I 1 layer and cut it right in half from corner to opposite corner to make the bottom. The other layer I cut the same way and then rounded one of the corners to make the fuller part and trimmed the top corner to make the strap connection. I froze the cake for about 10 minutes after cooling. Then I did a thin layer of icing and refroze for about 5 minutes. I took a plastic knife and a bowl of water. I dipped the knife in the water and used it to smooth the icing. I refroze for about 5 minutes. I had already mixed the color up so I smoothed it on with a small spatula following my pattern. I froze for 5 minutes and smoothed the icing out with the plastic knife and water again. I froze for about 5 more minutes. Then I drew circles on the suit. We used different colored sprinkles to make the circles. For the straps i just piled icing up and covered it with sprinkles. We refroze the cake until the morning of the party. we did it 2 days ahead.
