Swimming Pool Party Cake

What a fun way to celebrate with a swimming pool party cake. It doesn't have to be summer for this cake. If you have a swimmer they would love this cake or if you have a kids party at a swimming pool, try this cake to celebrate. We've included a video tutorial below on how to make a swimming pool cake as well as step by step photos on decorating a round pool cake.

What better way to celebrate having an afternoon pool party or poolside birthday bash then with a swimming pool party cake. Whether held indoors or outdoors, a pool party wouldn't be complete without a cake created to resemble a beach ball, a pair of flip-flops or even the pool itself. Here are some ideas for making unique pool party cakes for any occasion.

Swimming Pool Cake Ideas

Bake a cake for a 2 layer round cake. Allow to cool and fill your cake layers. Add a crumb coat along the sides.

Frost the top of your cake blue and wavy for a water look.

Measure the sides of your cake and cut fondant strips to fit the sides of your pool. Add details as you'd like.

Ladder and Slide Swimming Pool Party Cake Instructions:

• Bake two round cakes, any flavor 
• Frost sides and about three inches over the top of the cakes with white icing 
• Frost center of the cake with blue icing (water) 
• Cover an ice cream wafer cone with white frosting, place upside down on white area of cake 
• Create a slide from fruit strips that run down from top of wafer into blue icing
• Make a ladder from pretzel sticks 
• Break pretzel sticks in half to use as rungs 
• Place teddy bear crackers on ladder (as though they were climbing) 
• Also place teddy bears in the blue icing 

Fun Pool Party Ideas 

• Send invitations as "messages in a bottle"
• With a permanent marker, write pool party information on mini-beach balls and hand them personally to guests 
• Purchase cheap kids sunglasses and write party information on the plastic lenses as invitations 
• If you are giving a poolside "pirate party", create invitations that look like a treasure map 
• Instead of plain tablecloths, use themed beach towels as tablecloths (Spongebob, pirates, fish) 
• Use seashells as decoration 
• Hang beach balls around the party area like balloons are usually hung 
• Place plastic palm trees around pool (hang stuffed animal monkeys from the branches) 
• Throw a bunch of toys into the pool--noodles, boogie boards, inflatable rings
• Give each guest a beach ball and permanent marker and have them autograph each other's blown-up beach ball 

Other cakes that would fit under this theme decorating would be a flip flop cake or beach ball cake.

Swimming pool party cakes are also fun to make for adult pool birthday or anniversary parties as well. Suggestions for these might include combining an "over the hill" type party with a pool-themed cake or placing gag toys around the pool such as a walker or wheelchair.
