Hey Friends!!

I need some ideas for a tropic theme cake!! It's going to be a round cake either 8" or 9" or 10". Haven't decided the size yet because I want to make it look very tropical!! I might need lots of room!! My mom is the manager of a school kitchen. All the schools in the parish get together at the end of the year & have a huge banquet. This year's theme is tropical.

Let me know any pics or ideas or website or anything that could help me.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!

Here's an idea since you would be doing it on a round cake. Make a tropical island in the middle of the cake- with trees, flowers, and the like. Have the icing around the cake be blue to represent water, then out tropical fish on the sides of the cake.

That's a great idea! It sounds a lot easier then the idea I had! I have a bridal shower due the next day so I will be very busy!! I need something easy like that!! Thanks!!

Keep the ideas coming!!

come on turtle, you have great ideas and a wonderful hand at doing them..... you rise to the occasion everytime!!!

Ya, right Flav~ You are too kind!!! I have blanks hit me all the time!! I've got that wedding cake so stuck in my brain that I can bearly think up any other design but that!!! I'll be glad when it's over! So I can get back to practicing on transfers, MMF etc!!! & try to do gum paste. I loved making the flowers out of fondant so I'm dying to try gum paste!! So between here & April 23rd I need ya'll brains to work for me!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Ok, I found a couple websites. HTH
