This cake was made for a lobsterman. His bride wanted his boats put on the cake. The boats are printed images placed on the swirled blue buttercream background.
To answer the question about the shells, Except for the scallop shell, I made silicone molds from local shells. I use marshmallow fondant and tint the finished "shell" with petal and/or luster dust. Gumpaste works great, too, but fondant is easier on the kids teeth!
ohhh, wow!!! that is so beautiful!!
