I made this for my best friends birthday this year. We share the same birthday and I wanted to do something special since we've been friends since 2nd grade. I never made her a cake before so I decided to surprise her with one. She loves anything tropical. And since this was my third fondant cake, I was testing out different techniques, like figures, painting and adding sand. The shape is a little odd, but it kinda looks like a globe. I loved painting the water, but next time I'll use vodka instead of water so that It'll dry faster.

baby shower
This was a Modern Asian themed Suprise Baby Shower My mom and I decorated last minute. The baby was due that same week so we weren't sure if the bbq turned last minute baby shower was still gonna happen. So we decided to modernize it so it can go either way. We would just need to take away the diaper cake, sign, and baby games.. and whos the wiser ;P You can do alot in a week with a small budget and some creativity :)
The Awesome Diaper Cake! Made by: my mom
Guess candy the baby ate game.. also known as the POOP game! Answers were hidden in the flag. :)
This was the 2nd time I ever tried making a fondant cake. It was sooo hard to keep the white fondant clean w/ the red velvet cake inside.... white and red do not mix well... I also added the wax flowers on top to hide my little mistakes.
I made some last minute paper lanterns to hang on the bamboo tree.
