2015-8-15 Jordans 5th BD cake(s)

The one on the right is the BD cake, while the one on the left is the backup if we run short! On both cakes, the bottom layer is a rich dark chocolate, with chocolate chips! The middle is German chocolate, and the top is a yellow cake, all layers filled with chocolate buttercream.
On the rt., graduated ombre buttercream, going from dark blue/green up through the purples into the pinks. All of the Ariel colors. Then sitting in front is the gumpaste plaque that I made of Ariel with 'Jordan', birthday girl, and on the base is more of the darker colored BC with multicolored sprinkles, what else, sprinkled on. And added to that is an array of different seashells & rocks, made of gumpaste, & flavored with rootbear, which is also used to give the brownish lines running throughout them. The cake board edging is covered with 'Fight like a Girl' ribbon, which she has to do because she has an older brother! lol The number '5' wax candle is the only thing not edible on this one.
The cake on the left Has a light crumb coat in a mixture of the colors left over from the first cake, just not mixed too well, so we can still see the variations in the colors once applied. You know, that 'under the sea' color. I also used the leftover colors from cake 1 to paint an array of plants & flowers going up the sides, with some white bubbles rising upward, here & there. The base is BC mimicking the ocean floor around the cake, with rocks, sea shells, and bits of broken slabs of rock, all made with GummyGel, as are the crab,& fish on the sides, and the hippo & turtles on the top. The cake topper, 2 poles with the 'Happy Birthday' banner are, of course, not edible. lol Finally, going around the top edge, also in GummyGel, is a banner that reads 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY'. This one was in case we ran out of cake, but we only had 1 slice left! {:o))) They were narrow slices since they were so tall.
