Dan's 50th Birthday tiki bar cake!

This cake was made for a friend's Uncle who was coming in town the same week he was celebrating his 50th birthday. A Caribbean style cake with "Dan" holding a drink lounging on a beach chair was specifically asked for. The cake was chocolate with vanilla buttercream/Oreo filling. The tiki bar was made from Rice Krispy treats then covered in fondant, and all decorations... the palm tree's, "Dan," beach chair, bar stools, drinks, surfboard, water, wood sign were all made from homemade marshmallow fondant. White chocolate sea shells and crushed graham crackers used for the sand were finishing touches. 40 palm tree sugar cookies were also made. Happy 5oth birthday Dan!

A day at the beach!

This cake was made for the same friends that I made the sports themed cake for last week. The sports cake was for their son Keean's actual birthday, but this cake was for his birthday party. The party actually celebrated 5 different family member's birthdays. Again she gave me free range to what ever I wanted, so I chose to do a beach theme because it would suit both boys and girls, and then later found out she was sending out beach themed invitations... I guess we were on the same page! :) The top cake was white with strawberry buttercream filling and the bottom cake was chocolate with vanilla buttercream/chocolate chip filling. The sand castle was cake covered in buttercream and crushed graham crackers to resemble sand, and all decorations were fondant.
Happy 3rd birthday Keean!
Happy 7th birthday Nilan!
Happy 9th birthday Divya!
Happy 16th birthday Ben!
Happy birthday Archana!
