Nautical/Mini Crab theme birthday cake

 

What a fun cake was this one to make! I have said it before, I love making colorful cakes, and this is a color palette that I adore.

I have made a similar cake before, just smaller, and my client wanted something similar, just bigger. Well, bigger is always better. 

 

The details on the cake were made with a mix of fondant and tylose to make them a little extra firm, but not too hard.

I made the boat with gumpaste days in advance the delivery date to make sure it was going to be completely dry the day I need it.

I like using candy melts to attach big cake toppers to my cakes.

  This is the smash cake I made for the little boy.
