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.
I want to know what that poor innocent Angel Food Cake did to make Aunt Sandy stuff Marshmallows down it’s hole..then covered up the evidence by covering it with cheap frosting. Poor thing..
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.
I don’t know what everyone is complaining about! I made a few slight modifications: I made a homemade sheet cake from my great grandmother’s time tested recipe and instead of canned icing, used my homemade buttercream frosting, and instead of marshmallows and cheap store-bought candy, I hand decorated sea shells and starfish on the top of the cake with chocolate ganache made with Scharffen Berger. I don’t know what you people did wrong, but this cake was delicious!

Give me a break. Aunt Sandy needs to be banned, as do her followers.

The cake tasted terribel and was a lot fo work to make. Kids hated it.
especially with all the glop on it this is the same cake she always makes maybe some new ideas are in order
I don’t know how anyone could like this cake. We tried it and the taste was simply dreadful.
I thought this cake was veryyy good. I loved it and so did my kids. I dont know why so many people didnt like it, but I did. It was easy make and just good.
That says it all, I guess.
