SURFBOARD CAKE SuMmEr PaRtY. PART TWO

What else says summer more than a Surfboard?....So thats what we decided to make for the cake. 
I made two vanilla slab cakes...

Next, with the help from my wonderful husband, I cut out a template of a surfboard, out of kitchen paper then layed it over the two slabs.  I cut around the template so I had the shape of a board out of cake...

Almost done...i used a butter icing with yellow food colouring to cover the cake.  I then used chocolate icing to do the stringer and write Aloha.  For the stars I used a cookie cutter.  I very, very gently placed it where I wanted the stars to go so I had an outline in the icing.  With darker yellow icing, i then piped around the outline.  To finish off the stars I wanted to use coloured sugar but I couldnt find any in the supermarket  (ive since been told how to make it...place sugar in a bag with food colouring and shake...so easy) So I just used yellow jelly crystls which worked just fine.

The PARTY TABLE!  For the finishing touches I placed some arrowroot biscuits into a food processor and processed them until they resembled sand.  I sprinkled this all around the base of the cake....It was a hit.
