This cake is actually a combination of cakes. I used a 2x2 plywood piece as a base. one 12x12 for the island, 2 9" rounds for the base of the volcano, and the top is a cascade bundt. I lined the well with foil and added dry ice for rolling smoke. It was a great effect... however- I will find an actually metal tube to hold the dry ice from now on as the foil leaked and my cake sprung a leak. The sand is brown sugar. I cut mini swedish fish to tuck into the water. The people-Dog and Beth- actually started out as a prince and princess I found at Walmart. It only took a black sharpie and some fake leather to rough them up. One Barbie doll donated her curly locks to make this cake possible. The cake was a hit with the kids and parents. Hopefully I will get some more jobs out of this. I always stress out when I am making a cake because I want it to be perfect and I get worried that people will not appreciate it. This cake was lots of fun to make and I was jazzed that everyone made over it and the people at World of Bounce took my number to pass out too!
