Surf's Up! Birthday Cake

Image
Received a request to make a Surfboard, Sand, and Waves birthday cake for her husband.  They had just arrived to La Jolla earlier this year and is enjoying the sunshine, sand, and waves that San Diego offers.  Her design idea was to create a chocolate cake covered in buttercream, waves going around the perimeter then topped with 3 huge surfboards, a palm tree, lots of sand, beach towel, sandals, and beach ball.  Surf's up! Cake: Chocolate Cake Filling and frosting: Vanilla Buttercream Design Cake Toppers: Fondant waves going around the perimeter, 3 huge surfboards, a palm tree, beach towel, sandals, and beach ball. Brown sugar "sand." Happy Birthday, Aboud!

USS BOXER "Wetting Down" Cake

  USS BOXER "Wetting Down" Cake! Received a request to make a large cake in the shape of the USS Boxer for a Wetting Down (Promotion) party.  It would have to have 150 servings.  So I calculated that a 28" long USS Boxer cake would suffice for the serving amount.  I doubled the height of the actual ship above the water and had just enough room to include the names of the 6 officers who were throwing this "wetting down" party for the family and friends. Above all, congratulations to my husband, LCDR Jason Yuki Osuga! We are so proud of you! We will follow you wherever you are sent -- wherever the military sends you (and our family), wherever we are together as a family is where we will call "home." So proud of your accomplishments. Thank you for working so hard for our country and our family. I love you very much!! Cake: Chocolate Cake for the top half 3 layers & Vanilla Gold Butter Cake for the bottom half 3 layers Filling: Vanilla Butte...
