Summer Cakes Inspiration

I had an opportunity to host a cake collaboration on Instagram. A cake collaboration is when a group of bakers comes together to create their own cake based on the theme. On the day of the cake post date, they post the cakes on their Instagram feed using the designated hashtag. I had decided on a summer cake theme to mark the significance of June 21st (the first day of summer)! So, therefore, I had asked the talented bakers who signed up to create something that reminded them of the summer. Read on to see what they came up with (including mine!)

Beach & Sand Cake

I knew I wanted to do a cake that reminded me of the beach because that’s what summer means to me. I have lots of memories of going to the beach with my family. Honestly, I could go on a beach vacation every single year and never get tired of it! So, hosting a summer lovin’ cake collaboration with the amazing Instagram community was a no-brainer! I was absolutely blown away by their creativity and I loved reading about their summer memories. As much I would love to share every cake in the cake collaboration, I am selecting 20 cakes to share with you. You must view the rest of the cakes on the #summerlovincakecollab hashtag and follow these wonderful bakers!

Cake Details

  • I baked the 4 vanilla cake layers of 6″ in these Fat Daddios cake pans with @sugargeekshow’s Easy Frosting Buttercream to create gorgeous blue waves.
  • I used Wilton Color Right Performance gel colors to create the beautiful blue!
  • An icing spatula was applied to create the buttercream waves.
  • I crushed banana wafers to create the “sand”.
  • I also used a seashell mold that I found on Etsy to create fondant seashells and sea life.
  • Cake Safe’s acrylic discs were applied to get a smooth perfect frosting and sharp edges.
  • I purchased these amazing flowers and the cake stand from my local store. Loved the tropical colors!

Summery Love Cake
