The birthday cake decorations are as follows. The “sand” side is tan frosting smoothed over the cupcakes topped with graham cracker crumbs. The “water” is … Read more
I was asked to create a cake for a surfing fanatic that included a surfing figure, Minions figures and waves. After a bit of head scratching, and a little help from Youtube, I came up with my theory in my head. I realised that a little bit of engineering was required to create the waves. … Read more
As a self taught cake decorator I find every cake to be a challenge. This surf cake was made for a 40th and I had no idea where to start but as I was baking it started to come to me. I made the wave with coco pops and marshmallow and the cake was a choc mud … Read more
This surfing cake was made to welcome a new baby to my friends who love the beach, Hawaii, and surfing. I usually just do two cakes a year, one birthday for each of my kids, but I make occasional exceptions, like this one. The best part is that mammoth wave. Hang Ten dudes! It was … Read more

I cut the “cookies” in different lengths to represent a beach fence and glued them to the side of the cake with additional frosting where necessary. I did learn however, that this should be your last step … Read more

This Surfing birthday party cake was my first real cake for my son’s 5th birthday. The party was a surf theme so we made some life-size painting of surf boards for our humble abode, had 40+ people over, and I made this out of 3 Betty Crocker ‘super-moist’ boxes of cake mix, chocolate, yellow and … Read more
This cake was for a birthday party with a Hawaiian surfer theme. It is two 11×15 layers of chocolate cake and a thin layer of buttercream frosting covered in crushed vanilla wafers (sand). I simply ran thru my food processor and pressed into the frosting. The wave is a block of Styrofoam; I carved it … Read more
