This was a birthday cake done for my Aunt. She loves the beach. I wanted a tiered cake but didnt want to make more than one recipe of cake mix so the bottom is an 8" and the top is a 4". There were issues with the top leaning. This was a strawberry cake with a strawberry buttercream filling. The seashells are white chocolate painted in luster dust and the sand is graham crackers. This was my fifth fondant cake.
