Hi Friends! The other day when I shared my You Are Jaw-some Valentine’s Day party I mentioned that I would do a second post specifically about the shark cake. Well, today’s the day! I’m so excited to share how to transform a store-bought cake into a shark cake. This is seriously the easiest cake hack ever! It only takes 5 minutes and 5 ingredients!

A huge thank you to Oriental Trading Company for sponsoring this post. Although I was given resources to create this party, all of my opinions and feelings about (how fun and creative) their products are 100% my own. For more information, see my disclosures, here.

How to transform a store-bought cake into a shark cake

The 5 ingredients you will need:

  1. Grocery store-bought cake
  2. Shark Fin Lollipops from Oriental Trading
  3. Sea Shell Hard Candy from Oriental Trading
  4. Swedish Fish
  5. Graham Crackers

Step-by-Step instructions:

  1. First, crush up the graham crackers and sprinkle around the base of the cake.
  2. Then, carefully place the sea shell hard candies on the lower portion of the cake by gently pushing them into the frosting. Also, you can sprinkle some leftover sea shell candies on the graham cracker sand.
  3. Next, carefully place the Swedish Fish candies on the side of the cake by gently pushing them into the frosting (as you did with the shells).
  4. Lastly, poke the shark fin lollipops into the top of the cake, forming them into a circle. Make sure all of the fins are going in the same direction. Done! So easy and what a transformation!!
