Pool cake( cake decoration idea)

Every year on my daughters birthday party I try baking a new theme cake.I am not super perfect baker when it comes to baking cakes but I mostly use my creativity and passion.My sponge cake recipe gives me a very soft and spongy cakes which easily soaks any juices so it can be flavored easily.
