Sand Cake Recipe

"I got really excited about the Sand Cake idea so I ordered small party favor sand pails, palm tree cake decorations, and little treasure chests. My plan was to serve the Sand Cake in the pails and top each with a palm tree, treasure chest and a chocolate gold coin. Well, the shovels kept coming apart rendering them useless as spoons. The trees and chests were smaller than I thought… but it was still cute decorating the main bowl before everyone dug in. We had nothing left by the time our final guests left. It was soooo good."
