Sometimes my favorite cakes are the ones with the least bit of detail. I made this cake for a dear friend's birthday. I have a hard time coming up with "male friendly" cakes but this one fits him well because he loves Hawaii. And what does Hawaii have a lot of? Ocean, of course! It made sense to me and that's all that mattered. HA! The piping work represents the ocean's waves and I couldn't resist putting a little bit of "sand" to represent the seashore.
Don't you think the graduated layers of blue look pretty? One of my favorite blogs posted a gorgeous pink ombre (fancy name for graduated colors) swirl cake here. That Glory is a talented lady. I'm really loving the look and I can't wait to try this technique on the inside of a cake!
This cake looks cute without any fanfare.
