Hawaiian Luau

Hawaiian Luau on Cake Central

10" & 6" french vanilla cake - fresh strawberrry & kiwi filling - vanilla b/c with fondant accents for a 10 year old girl b-day luau. Should have inserted the sun on sticks but I wanted the sun actually coming out of the cake. Next time I would use sticks. Sand is cinnamon graham crackers but through a processor. Shells are white chocolate dry brushed w/super pearl dust. Add fresh hot pink hibiscus flowers & additional shells around base at venue.

Thanks and yes it is dried fondant and I did "stick" it in. Never do that!! I now "glue" with melted chocolate a popsicle stick to the back of everything and then insert the stick into the cake. I wanted it to look like the sun was coming out of th cake so I thought sticking it in would be ok. If I ever do it again I would not just stick it in.
