I'm so SORRY, I haven't posted sooner. I will try to do better in the future. No guarentees though. As you may have noticed, my favorite season is finally here. SUMMER!!!! I live for it. All winter I long for it to be June. This year I had a little reprieve early in the year. Gigi, one of my favorite clients, (hope you don't mind that I use your name, but it's on the cake anyway) decided that her bi
rthday party would have a tropical theme. And what says "tropical" more than a tiki hut? Not much in my opininon. The bottom is a standard quarter sheet cake and the hut is several layers plus a roof. Lets talk about the roof. Oh my goodness, I thought my fingers were going to fall off. By the time I was finished stringing every individual piece of "straw," my hands were screaming in protest. But it was so worth it. I love the final look. This cake is all about details. Everything you see (with the single exception of the umbrella pole) was edible. The surf board was a last minute addition. I had to figure out what could fill up that space when I couldn't get a palm tree to cooporate with me. My airbrush came in handy. All in all, I was thrilled with this cake. It's my dad's all time favorite. When he saw this one, he said, "you really are good at that cake thing." Apparently, all the cakes I've made prior to this one had not convinced him that I had any real talent. He lucky I love him so much.
