Moana Themed Cake

For the first time ever, someone has requested a cake from me! Up until now I have just been making cakes for fun so I definitely felt a little pressure. But it still filled me with joy because it was only a year ago that I made my first layered cake!

I’m only about 30% happy with how the actual Moana cake turned out. It’s not exactly what I had envisioned. But I am extremely proud of my Kakamora cupcakes! It’s chocolate frosting dipped in crushed chocolate graham crackers. The faces are just fondant dry brushed with food coloring for a wood texture effect.

This was my first attempt at making gum paste flowers. Plumerias are a very simple flower so it wasn’t exactly a challenge, but I love how they turned out!

The toys on top were only $15 on Amazon and very high quality! Just a heads up, Maui is very heavy. I sort of have him propped up with the number skewer.
