This was such a fun cake to do! It was for a surprise 40th birthday party! The birthday girl found out at her party that she would be going on a trip to Mexico the following week, so it was nice that the cake tied in with a trip to the sunny south! When I was asked to make this cake, I was provided with several of Sheri's favourite things, which were all incorporated into the cake. Aside from the beach, sun, sand and tiki hut, I was told that Sheri loves music and attending concerts. I asked what her favourite concert was and was told ACDC! Wow, how to incorporate that into a beach themed cake! I decided on a beach towel, spread out in the sand outside the tiki hut! I
heard that Sheri was quite pleased with it! Sheri likes a good pina colada as well (who doesn't), so I determined that I would make the tiniest pina colada ever...and it worked! A tiny coconut, filled with white icing and topped with a miniature umbrella! Birds of Paradise are Sheri's favourite flower, so these were a feature of the cake! What a bright and cheery way to celebrate such a special occasion! Happy Birthday Sheri!
