Happy first birthday, Aiden and Owen!! Top tier is covered in buttercream. Bottom tier is covered in navy fondant with a modeling chocolate wrap (my first!). The rope, whale, anchor, plaque and life preservers are fondant and modeling chocolate. Original design by Miss Couture.
This cake is awesome! Could I get the recipe and instructions? I would love to make it for my sons first birthday in august. Would really appreciate it! Thanks! Connie
Thank you. It would take a video tutorial to explain this....however, buy the dvd from Baking Arts, like I did. You'll learn how to do the striped modeling chocolate wrap on the bottom tier. i hope this helps!!!! you'd want to purchase this one:

Thank you! It says you used buttercream for the top layer, how do you get it to look so smooth so you can put the lines in it? Will the video show me how to do the letters, whale, rope, etc? I have never used fondant before so I will have to practice.
It took lots of practice to get my buttercream smooth!! The video will only show you how to do the modeling chocolate wrap.
