This past weekend did a first birthday cake for my vet's daughter, affectionately known as Gigi (isn't that cute?). They were doing a Hawaiian Luau theme, and wanted to use bright tropical colors.
Since it was a holiday weekend and I had no weddings, it gave me a little extra time to throw some creativity at it. I got out my Cricut Cake and my Life is a Beach cartridge and started cutting tropical leaves, tiki heads, hula girls, and tropical flowers. Now these cut files weren't specifically designed for cake usage but they worked very well. I could pull out the centers of the flowers and the tiki heads and it gave the cake lots of dimension. I even made a big 3D Tiki head out of rice crispy treats for the top.
Gigi's Mom was super excited when she came to pick it up, she even shed a tear or two she was so happy! Awwwww! Happy Birthday Gigi!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and bringing me to yours :) You have such talent! While this cake looks fantastic, I especially loved the replica of the Georgia Bulldogs stadium. So much detail that you nailed :) At my wedding, I surprised my husband with a groom's cake that was shaped like a helicopter (he's a helicopter pilot.) Seeing all your groom's cakes reminded me of it :)

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. What a beautiful cake! I really like the UGA cake and peanut butter cake. Also, I used to live in Chattanooga, so I love your Tennessee Aquarium cake. :)
