Brady's 2nd Birthday Cake


I was so excited to make this cake. One of my good friends from high school had a beautiful baby girl 2 years ago. Brady Faith was born very prematurely and weighed in at only 1lb 7oz and 12 inches long! It is so amazing that now she is a healthy 2 year old...what a blessing!


My friend went with a Mickey Mouse Luau theme as Brady adores anything Disney. This was by far the most difficult and rewarding cake I've done. The bottom tier is chocolate cake with buttercream icing and the top is yellow cake with buttercream. The wave is actually made of yellow cake that I carved to make look like a wave for Mickey to surf. The sand is crumbled graham crackers and the "bamboo" is hazelnut chocolate filled cookies. Lastly, the hibiscus flowers are fondant!
(I also wanted to thank my friend's husband for the amazing picture of the cake!)
