It's not too late to dive in!

Who said that summer is over? Here in Texas, you'd never know that it is officially fall season.  It's not too late to cool off at the pool here.  Why not host a pool party to close out the summer?   Where there's a party, you must have a cake!  This easy pool cake will be great at a pool party, for a swim party, for a kids birthday party, for your water aerobics class, for your swim team, for a diver, for a swimmer, and other celebrations.   You only need a 9" square cake and a 9" round cake to make this pool cake.  No special pans are needed.  You can make this cake TODAY by downloading the Pool Cake cut-up cake pattern. Just cut -- arrange -- and decorate.   Add some icing and some decorations and dazzle your guests.  I'm not a "cake decorator" professionally.  You don't need to be either.  All the decorations on this cake were also bought at the local supermarket.  Add some rolled fruit and Life Savers candies for pool floats, a piece of gum for the diving board, and some bear cookies.   I added a pool side umbrella too.  Be creative.  Let the kids help decorate this fun cake.
