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!
If I had any musical talents, I would be singing that old Beach Boy’s hit because it is finally summer! Trust me, you want me to stick to cakes and leave the singing to someone else… but you get the idea. The weather is warming up, school is ending, grills are blazing and I couldn’t be happier. Winter is long here in comparison to Texas and I’ve been waiting for summer forever!
So in honor of pool parties, fireflies, popsicles and BBQ’s… let’s check out some great treats appropriate for your upcoming summer parties.
‘Hula Hannah’ one of my favorite summertime designs. It’s perfect for a little girl’s birthday party with a luau theme. This two tiered cake was made to look like a grass skirt on the bottom tier. A bright blue top tier is surrounded by colorful flowers and graham cracker sand.
Hula Hannah, who was hand sculpted out of fondant, is resting on top. I just love the flower in her hair! Makes me think of being in Hawaii…
More summertime designs to come!
This 5-Tier cake was created for a wedding at the Starlight Room in downtown Dallas. Highlights include tiers of varying heights, ‘Cancun Blue’ buttercream icing with white wave-like detailing. White seashells and a starfish topper add to the beach theme.
Flavors included cinnamon swirl cake with chocolate espresso filling and french vanilla cake with raspberry preserves.
This event was a stunning creation of the ladies at Faire La Fete Productions.
