Instructions: Cut the cake into 1-inch slices. Fit the slices into the pail, alternating layers of cake with applesauce or pudding, ending with applesauce. Sprinkle on the crushed cookie sand and top with shell candies. Now dig in with the plastic shovel. Originally published in FamilyFun magazine.

* I see that some Walmarts carry chocolate sea shell candies (from Belgium).

Dori Says: This novel cake, topped with crushed cookie "sand," will be the hit of any beach party. After the beach bunch finish eating, scrub the pails and let them fill the pails with real sand (no eating allowed).
