Beach Themed Bridal Shower Cake

I like this cake because it allowed me to be more creative. I had never worked with gumpaste before so I was experimenting. I used ½ gumpaste and ½ fondant mixture. I followed a tutorial online for the flowers. I painted them after with pearl dust but it didn’t work, then I added water to the pearl dust and that was not a good idea either. It did the trick but it made the flower soggy and droopy. For the surfboard I used a cookie cutter. The beach ball and the bathing suit are my favorite pieces.

Bridal Shower

These were my first cookies for a bridal shower. The colors were purple and white. The bride’s sister Nicky asked for hearts, engagement ring, cake, and wedding bell shaped cookies. I threw in the square just because ;) The diamond on the ring has sprinkles just to add some bling. I used a purple platter to display the cakes, squares, and bells. I bought the platter at Target. I also bought the containers at target. I used Styrofoam for the base and inserted the cookie lollies and lined the container with purple tissue paper.
