Aaaaw, Calgon take me away… Loved doing this cake! Featured on a sandy beach(crushed vanilla wafers, adhered with royal icing atop a fondant base), the bottom tier displays large fondant hibiscus flowers, vines & leaves, middle tier features Tiki idol, Lono. Of course, he must be illuminated with flaming tiki torches(torches were made of gumpaste, with individual bullet lights in each and hand painted wafer paper flames gave a VERY realistic flame appearance) and top tier, is a coconut drink cup, displayed atop a fondant cocktail napkin and featuring gumpaste straw, umbrella and a lovely hibiscus flower, all 100% edible. Bottom 2 tiers were trimmed with fondant bamboo stalks. This was my first try at gumpaste hibiscus flowers and I truly enjoyed making them, may be my new favorite flower. Cake contained the following flavors, bottom tier was my signature chocolate cake with chocolate chunks and chocolate buttercream, middle tier was Almond/Vanilla sour cream cake with vanilla buttercream and top tier was Vanilla/Cherry chunk with whipped vanilla icing. I was told it all tasted amazing. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it. Thank you and Aloha!!
