A simple way to add an extra touch of fun to your summer cakes.  And make the most of your cake scraps&#8230;. <\/p>\n<p>Cake scraps!  Also fondly known as Cake Top.  You know what I&#8217;m talking about&#8230;. the extra dome of cake that gets cut off during the leveling process.  We all have cake scraps and no one likes to throw them away.  If you don\u2019t immediately give in to the temptation of snacking on your scraps, you can use them to create \u201csand\u201d or \u201cdirt\u201d for your next cake design.  I love this trick because it saves you time and money.  No more wasted cake and no need to buy extra brown sugar or ground up cookies when creating your beachy cake designs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":21437,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[90,234],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-21423","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-diy","8":"category-erin-gardner","9":"entry"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thecakeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thecakeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thecakeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thecakeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thecakeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21423"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/thecakeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21423\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26793,"href":"https:\/\/thecakeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21423\/revisions\/26793"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thecakeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21437"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thecakeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thecakeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thecakeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
