Shelby had a luau party for her 7th birthday and I came up with this idea. I got the idea from a picture I saw online here. I started out using fondant but didn't like the way it turned out so ended up using butter cream frosting instead. I did use the fondant to decorate so of it though and was pleased with how it turned out. Not to bad for my first try with fondant I don't think. Each of the surf boards on top are different, and it just wouldn't be girlie without the crown on top. We used sparkle candles and she really liked that too!
Different angles so you can see the different surf boards.
Here is my little helper! He reminds me of myself at his age. My oldest and dear friend, Regina's grandmother made professional cakes when we were little. I can remember ALWAYS asking for a spoon and a bowl of icing when I came to visit! She made our wedding and grooms cakes when Ricky and I got married and there were so good! Anyway, Ryder was my tester/helper.
