Hawaiian Birthday
This cake was done for a co-workers daughter who was turning 40. She grew up in Hawaii and her favorite flowers are plumeria (frangipani) white with the yellow centers. So i made a real lei out of fondant plumeria which i made by hand, one by one, about 55 of them. All the bamboo were made of MMF as well as the leaf. the sign was wilton fondant that I hand painted with diluted gel colors. The sand was a combination of graham cracker, brown sugar, and sugar in the raw.
OMG!!! What a beautiful cake!! What did you use to hold the flowers together for the lei?
I used kitchen twine.
This is beautiful! And I bet extremely time-consuming....how many hours did this whole cake take you?? I love all the details!!
It took me about 16 hours total. It did not take too long once I developed a system.
Yes I know they are two different views. In the other picture you can see the lei a little better.
The cake is really nice. I wondered if you realized that you posted it twice?
Beautiful Cake. Great detail and I love the green you used for the bamboo. The lei looks real!
This cake is absolutely stunning! I'm surprised the flowers held up so well, considering they are made of fondant. I am new to decorating...I thought only gum paste or royal flowers would hold up so well. Did you cover the whole cake in fondant as well? Thanks for sharing your beautiful work.
