This cake was for Pete the Handyman's 50th birthday party. He loves the beach, burgers, Bud, and a sign by his pool that says, "Bathing suits optional".
The 11x15 yellow cake was filled with raspberry mousse and iced with vanilla buttercream. Sand was created with crushed vanilla wafers and cinnamon graham crackers. Pete, his toolbelt, tools, and all of the other decorations are hand modeled sugarpaste.
