Decorating By countrycakes Updated 1 Jun 2007 , 3:45am by lilie
Okay, I received a call on Monday for a small groom's cake (9x13) for FRIDAY.....all she said is either a skateboard or a surfboard theme.......ACK! 
I am going with the surfboard theme.....can you toss out some ideas for me? I will be baking the cake tonite....and decorating tommorrow morning before I go to work.
Thanks for any input........am not a good 'last minute' person......
how's about this:
9x13 cut as per smaller diagram -- the surfboard and then two "ramp" pieces.
stand ramps on edge and put together to make "wave"
lop off top of wave for flat place for surfboard.
add surfboard to top (it's on cakeboard and doweled)
add fondant surfer dude.
variation...
instead of surfboard on top -- put at bottom of wave w/ surfer dude paddling for dear life and make wave look like about to crash onto him.
"marriage -- worse the wiping out!"
If you want real simple you could do something as easy as a 9x13 base with part of it being the beach and part of it the waves crashing on the shore. you could have surf boards "stuck in the sand" standing up and have any writing look like it was written in the "wet sand" maybe even a couple of beach towels. Not sure how complicated you wanted. Just a thought hope it helps.
Thanks Doug, but my customer wants it SIMPLE. I like the ideas you threw out Tallmama.......and I went with an 11x15.....a little more cake, but I want it to be a great one and the price she is getting it for is okay for the bigger size too.....thanks, and keep them coming! I will post a picture when I deliver it.....later!
