50th Birthday Pool Cake

Today is not the day that I will be announcing the big news, that will be tomorrow! So come back tomorrow! Because it's big! And there is something in it for you!

I did, however, want to share with you one of the most hilarious cakes that I have ever made!  A friend of my mom's contacted me to make a 50th Birthday cake for her sister-in-law. They had funny little figurines and wanted me to make it pool themed.

What I did was cut a rectangle out of the center of the cake, iced it, and then filled the pool with home-made decorator gel. This was my first time making it and it was a pretty messy process!

 Isn't she too cute with her leg sticking in the pool?

 The "water" got some bubbles in it when it dried, but I still love the way that it almost looks like real water in the cake!

 Per her request, I made this little chocolate plaque for the front. Apparently, Debbie really loves chocolate! So we wanted this cake to be as chocolatey as possible!

 And while I was decorating it...I made stir fry. And it was good.

 I know, short and sweet and to the point. But come back tomorrow! :)
