OMG that is so cute! How did you get the water to look like water? And what is the unbrella handle made out of?

I like to bake, but I can't bake like that.

That is so cute !!!
I bet it tasted as good as it looked

 

[cryssi]

thanks for looking!

cake is 2 9" rounds, torted and filled - french vanilla cake with bavarian cream and strawberry filling...yummm-y!

umbrella was baked in a small pyrex bowl

water is piping gel over buttercream

umbrella handle is white MMF over one of those round, white, lollipop sticks

Is the rubber duckie made from chocolate? If so and you don't mind my asking, what mold did you use?

Lovely cake,
Suzanne

ducky is lemon flavored white chocolate. I used the ducky lollipop mold...it had cavities to make 2 lollipops, so a total of 4 halves...

Great cake. I thought the duckie was a rubber duckie until someone asked and I looked closer - cool!
