Flip Flop Cake For Birthdays Recipes

FLIP-FLOPS CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease or spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan. Make and bake cake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Refrigerate or freeze cake 1 hour or until firm.
• In small bowl, mix 1 container frosting with food color to make desired color for sides of flip-flops. Reserve 1/3 cup frosting from second container. In small bowl, stir second food color into 1 cup of the remaining frosting to make desired color for top of flip-flops.
• Using serrated knife, cut rounded top off cake to level surface; place cut side down. Cut cake lengthwise in half. Continue cutting each piece to form flip-flop shape as shown in diagram (template can be found under the Tips below). Place pieces on tray. Spread a thin layer of frosting for "sides" over each entire flip-flop to seal in crumbs. Refrigerate or freeze cake 30 to 60 minutes to set frosting. Frost sides of flip-flops with the same remaining frosting. Frost tops of flip-flops with second color frosting.
• Tint remaining 1/3 cup frosting with food color. To pipe frosting around top edge of flip-flops, spoon tinted frosting into small resealable food-storage plastic freezer bag and cut small tip off 1 bottom corner of bag. Pipe zigzag design. Place small candies around side edge of each flip-flop to look like jewels. Cut two 6-inch pieces from fruit roll; cut pieces lengthwise in half. Arrange on flip-flops for straps. Just before serving, top with flowers. Store loosely covered.

FLIP FLOP CAKE FOR BIRTHDAYS.

Steps:

• Make cake with the ingredients it calls for on the box. By the same directions. Make it in a 9X 13 pan.
• Cut out a pattern for shoe prints.
• When cake is baked & cooled completely lay patterns on the cake. Turn opposite of each other. Cut the foot pattern out.
• I add extra powdered sugar to thicken the can icing. I put a crumb coating on, put in fridge to set up. Put color of your choice in frosting. Frost the flops.
• I bought Twizzlers & cut (2) 6 inches long for the straps of the flip flops. I cut 2 silk flowers for the toes.
• Place the Twizzlers & flowers on the cake to make it into flip flops. I did some outlining for the borders. I added some pastel M & M's randomly around the sides of the flops. Turn out beautiful.
