Her favorite things:
Flip Flops
Sock Monkey
Her orange Volkswagen bus (yes, she has one of these!)
Sugar skull
and all things tropical!
I'm really happy with how it turned out!
Both tiers of the cake were white cake with vanilla buttercream filling. The "sand" on the top tier is a mixture of brown sugar and graham cracker crumbs. The top tier is also surrounded by Pirouette cookies. The palm trees, sock monkey, and flip flops are all modeling chocolate. The flowers are royal icing. The VW bus is cut from Rice Krispie treats and covered in fondant.
