Ace of Cakes!! (sort of, lol)

My boyfriend and I are not only are both scuba divers but we also share the same birthday! Mike likes to joke that he’s dating me because he’ll never get in trouble and forget my birthday… funny boy. Anyways, regardless of the fact we share a birthday, I wanted to make him a fun cake……

This is all about the decor, because with this much effort, not gonna lie, I boxed it. 😀 Cream cheese frosting is delish and I spread it on wildly leaving the peaks as you can see in the pic. Then I found icing color you SPRAY on, (that’s right SPRAY from a can) to create the cool wave effects. 😀 I found the icing spray color at Michael’s. Freaking awesome. I also found at Michael’s fun candy molds in sea creatures! And candy pens to make the candy decorating super easy! The diver legs are two thick pretzel sticks dipped in chocolate and I drew the fins with the yellow chocolate pen on wax paper. When they dried, I attached them to the pretzel legs using more chocolate as “glue”. 😀 And Mike’s dive fins ARE yellow. The color sharks are attracted to. Yup.

The candy pens were kinda expensive, I think they were like $9.95 or something. BUT all you smart phone users need to download the Michaels app because they can scan coupons straight off your phone! Go green! And yay for people like me who consistently leave their paper coupons at home….. hehe.

The last cake was for a going away/back to school thing for a friend. For those of you that don’t know, it’s a dive flag. 😀 Freaking water people, I know. 😀
