The people that ordered this cake asked me to make a retirement luau cake, thats all the instructions they gave me except to use my own "creativity". So I came up with this idea.I made the table chair and sign out of popsicle sticks, the umbrella is a coffee filter I dyed with food coloring, and the palm trees I made from construction paper. The icing is butter cream, and the flowers and sandals are royal icing. The inside of this cake is tie dyed. They loved this cake. Got a few orders afterwards also.
