If you missed my last post, I’m extremely excited about summer! Even though I’m miles away from the ocean… the beach bum in me loves this next design.
‘Hang Ten’ was created based on a Pottery Barn Kids party collection. This two tiered design features light blue buttercream icing and blue fondant waves on the bottom tier. We added the polka dots on the waves to give it a more modern feel. The top tier is a tan buttercream accented with fondant surfboards. Graham cracker sand borders are the finishing touch!
Even though this design was for a first birthday, I think it would be appropriate for any surfer or beach themed party.
A summertime cupcake design to come later today!
This is an AWESOME and BEAUTIFUL cake. It's my husband's 30th and I would love to make this for him. Is it simple? What did you make the surfboards out of?
Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I'm sure your husband will love it as well! The surfboards are made out of fondant… so are the blue waves on the bottom tier.
Have fun!
Did you find the fondant easy to use and shape and stick on the cake? I'm making a cake for my son's birthday and I'm interested in doing waves around it like yours. Very inspiring!
SO cute! Love how the colors are happy and summery. Great Cake!
