I made these two cakes for a friend of mine who was putting on a wedding shower. The theme was a luau. I decided to decorate one of the cakes traditionally and do the other one fun. I thought of the way I was going to do the beach cake the night before I had to have them ready. I actually decorated it a couple hours before it was suppose to be picked up. Had I allowed more time for it I would have loved to have found small lawn chairs, umbrellas and other beach items. Another idea of mine in the future will be using fondant to make 3D props. The more traditional two layer cake I used a Wilton Buttercream frosting recipe. I tried to match the colors from the invitation, deep purple and an aqua. (At least that is what my color blind eye saw.) I'm not too happy with the writing. I need much more practice in that area!
