Just before we went on holiday, Charlie gave us a drawing of what she wanted as her birthday cake. She wrote on it that she wanted “a circle with fish, seahorses, jellyfish and a turquoise number 8 on top”
I couldn’t prep much of this before we went away, so made it in between the wedding cake on the run up to her birthday.
4 x 7″ vanilla sponge layers filled with strawberry jam and vanilla buttercream
The “Ocean” is made with different blue-coloured buttercreams, swirled around to try give them an ombre effect.
The fishtails and shells were made with white chocolate in a silicon mold I had from a few years ago. Th bubbles were pearl sprinkles from the wedding cupcakes.
The rest was fondant (the seahorses, swirls & jellyfish).
I suppode the number 8 isn’t turquoise, but it did match the theme and she didn’t seem to notice!
