Under the Sea

Connor loves aquatic life, but his party was pirate-themed. His mom requested a little of both for his 4th birthday cake. This is quite the busy cake, decorated with fondant creatures, sprinkles for coral, and buttercream - lots of buttercream.

The top is covered in buttercream topped with brown sugar.

Then we have the front of the cake. A school of fish, an octopus, seaweed, and coral.
Turn to the left - note the goldfish with the tiny scuba driver, the shark fin, turtles... and more fish!

Another turn - the Happy Birthday message, oyster/pearl, baby crab, and dolphins.
Another turn to the left - a starfish, hammerhead shark, and stingray.



PHEW. Busy cake!
