I Need To Make A "busy" Cake Look Elegant And Fun
Decorating By sweetlayers Updated 4 Nov 2008 , 7:42pm by sweetlayers
Hi guys--
I have a 9" round cake to be delivered on Saturday however, I have ALOT of things to incorporate. Can you help me?
The overall theme is a golf course and needs the following elements to also be included.
Carolina Hurricanes
Cigars
Grill
Beer with beer mugs
Jimmy Buffet icons.
And Happy Birthday xxxxxx!
I don't have a lot or room to make this happen, can you help me?
Thanks
hopefully you're charging an arm and leg for this, because i don't see any way to incorporate all those things without molding fondant or gumpaste which equals money!!
the only thing i could see would be to make the cake board a big bigger and pipe icing on it with a few sand holes. the cake itself could be a tiki type hut (not necessarily straw and stuff, but just that type of outdoor bar feeling) on the edge of the "course"...kind of like a watering hole for the golfers.
a sign over the bar saying it will be closed during hurricanes. or a sign advertising the mixed drink flavor of the month "carolina hurricanes"
a box of cigars on the bartop or an ashtray with a cigar resting in it.
a couple of mugs of beer on the bartop
a parrot in a cage or perching on the edge of the roof.
a grill somewhere off to the side, lid flipped open and a couple of burgers thrown on it.
personally, i think it's way too much going on, on that small of a cake, UNLESS you're getting enough money to make all this worth your time.
good luck!
I would make the top of the cake look like a green surrounded by some of the rough.
I would make partial beer mugs--like a third or a half of a beer mug with the handle that could stick out from the side of the cake and have a logo on each beer mug that has the hurricane on one and the cigars on the next and all that stuff--just an easy peasy little logo-ish on each mug with the handles sticking out a bit all round the sides.
These ideas are great. However, since the price is low, I think I will end up making the plaques as suggested by KoryAK. With maybe a 3d gumpaste cigar. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that a pig must also be on the cake because the client loves "pig pickin'" 
ok then, a parrot smoking a cigar, wearing a hurricanes jersey, golfing with a pig at the 19th hole where there is a bbq and a cooler of beer and a banner with Happy B-day.....
LOL!
Good luck with this one!
