OCEAN THEME CAKE

The flavor of this cake is by far my most favorite of all!! 4 layers of lemon chiffon cake with three different filling layers; lemon curd, lemon buttercream, and lemon mousse. Can you tell I like lemon?
The birthday girl loves the ocean and ocean themes. I made the shells, pearls, and grass out of gumpaste, the coral out of royal icing, and the pebbles are chocolate candies.
The cake is covered with three colors of fondant (green, blue, white) swirled together and is supposed to resemble the movement of the ocean.
Sure wish I had some leftovers of this cake!!

GOLF THEME BIRTHDAY CAKE

This cake was done for a surprise 50th birthday for a man that loved to play golf but wasn't very good at it. His wife bought the golf cart figurine and I designed the cake around it. It was a fun cake to make. The cake was chocolate with my homemade raspberry jam, chocolate mousse with fresh raspberries in it. Chocolate and raspberries are just a perfect match.
