​OK, I have to tell y’all that this cake is for my mom. Not only is her business, Park Lane Jewelry, sponsoring it, but she, well, she just LOVES the beach and everything beachy!

And it can be sized up or down depending on how many people you want to treat, but if you have a crowd, well, this will make them all happy!​
