Fishing/Mexico Cake

One new cake this weekend and such a fun one too! The cake was for a surprise 40th birthday party for a man who loves his fishing.  The cake combined the idea of fishing and also revealed the fact that a surprise trip to Mexico was a birthday present.  The chocolate chip cake features fondant decorations, including a somebrero, margarita, maracas, swordfish, Mexican flag, and other beachy elements. The "sand" and purple "coral dust" are all edible - sugar and crushed graham crackers.  The cake itself was airbrushed dark blue over lighter blue fondant to give it that oceany look.  Happy Birthday!

Happy Early Thanksgiving - check back next weekend for some festive goodies!
