I'm doing a baby shower luau cake. My vision for now is two round tiers. The bottom having chocolate transfer palm trees and hibiscus around it. "Sand" on top of that. The top tier will have a big ole wave with a surfing baby and in the sand will be other babies and surfboards.
I want the wave to stand up and be pretty spectacular (I hope!). I looked all through the gallery and other sites and found one member that did it out of gumpaste and let it dry over a 2 liter bottle. Hers looked great. Does anyone have any other ideas?
If I use icing or piping gel for the water on top, would it look really inconsistant to have a big gumpaste wave there?
Thanks!
For my beach cake I used fondant. I made blue and teal fondant and marbled them together for the water/ waves. It looked great with white buttercream for the surf.
What if you make it out of just fondant. Fondant is like clay, once it hardens it's very hard. Play with it shape it to look like a giant wave use a 2 liter bottle to hold the shape till it hardens. Do this a week in advance to have it very hard. Then airbrush it. Hope this helps.
