Any ideas how to decorate a sheet cake in a Hawaiian theme? I need to have this done by Sat. Dec. 9th.
Is it a wedding or shower cake? Did the bride have any ideas as far as colors, does she want flowers?
Bright colored lei flowers around the border?
palm trees and beach theme?
She wants me to make a lei or palm trees and a beach scene. How can I do this?
They requested a sheet cake for a bridal shower. No particular colors, just a Hawaiian theme. They want basic white butter cream icing. I thought of palm trees and a beach scene, but I don't know how to make that. Can you buy little plastic palm trees or plastic leis?
I know you can get little palm trees. Not a whole lot of help because I can't remember where I've seen them.
I would use maybe a cookie stick like those u buy in the coffee dept. and use butter cream icing, ,stiff to make the palm leaves...I would also use brown sugar or crumbed cookies to make the sand.
When I went to hawaii....there big on COLORFUL FLOWERS!!! all kinds....you can use the ones we did in course II...and make them very bright! I hope this helps, Im new to cake decorating....
Thanks everyone for all your suggestions. I think I'll be able to make something beautiful!!!!!
I'm having trouble pricing my cakes. If it is big enough to serve 40 people, for a luau decorated sheet cake, how much should I charge?
My WMI had suggested a base price of $1/serving for birthday cakes, $2/serving for wedding cakes, plus additonal for fondant or extravagent decorations. This is in the Sacramento, CA area. Not sure what others charge, but just a ballpark.
As far as plastic decorations, I have found mini plastic palm trees at Wishing Well. (Don't know where you are located, if they have Wishing Well there, it's a party supply/carnival supply/wedding supply type place). Good luck, and don't forget to post a pic so we can see!
I use piping gel colored bluish/green for water and "brownulated" brown sugar for the sand. (Brownulated is a finer brown sugar and looks just like sand.) I have also read where other people used crushed graham crackers for the sand. Here is a picture of one of my beach cakes (not the best one but a good example. The water looks much better when icing underneath is either white or blue).
How beautiful - I love your ocean and the flowers are just perfect! How much could you charge for that cake?
