There are times in our lives when we just have to find something special to cook up to make a lasting memory, this was it!
This Tropical Beach Spa Cake was creative and a memory to last a lifetime when thinking of their vacation here!
I have made many memories with my mom and grandmother with cooking projects; the learning experience is one of the best rewards in the kitchen.
My family from N.Y. was visiting with their children in Florida and what better way to celebrate the state than with this beach/spa cake! They loved it and it was so much fun besides being delicious!

Getting Started to Making Our Beach Cake/Spa
- just about everything on this list came from a local dollar store, party supply chain, or candy shop
- look for longer Kit Kat bars you can always cut them with a sharp knife
- gummy round circles are used for the floats and can be found at local candy shops or online
- use crushed graham crackers for the sand or brown sugar or even another crushed cookie that looks like the color of sand
- get creative and make this with white covered Kit Kat bars if desired and use any kind of animal mini-cookies
Let the Fun Begin and Get the Kids Excited to Be Creative
We had so much fun making this little tropical spa beach cake!
She was a natural at cooking.
I wouldn't have expected anything less since her mom Pamela is a great cook and inspiration to her children not to mention she comes from a background of great chefs.
Pamela also is teaching her kids the importance of family values and togetherness.
My mom taught all of us how family is all that matters.
As we grow older those memories become more and more important.
When we look back at all the ones made in our childhood, it's just heartwarming to make traditions with the next generation to come into the family.
Pam is doing a great job instilling those values and I look forward to seeing her children make special memories with their own someday.
