ive been wanting to try a beach theme wedding cake for awhile. unfortunately i couldnt find my small sea shell mold. i really dont like the way the large shells look. and i wanted to use beach chairs for the topper. at this time of year i couldnt find any???? so i settled for shells on top. My daughter helped me with the cake, her first time. She torted, frosted, made the branches and placed the shells. We had a great time working together! WASC w/vanilla CC frosting, double choco cake w/ choco buttercream. sea shells are from melted chocolate. TFL
