Close up detail of swimming party cake
As you can see, we love cakes……….
At least you have the flags!
For the girls I think….
I can imagine this is a cake for master swimmers.
This is the kind of cake I would have, I love dolphins!!! (swam with them 3 times)
They must be for an eight years old…..
Another 8 year old I suspect…..
Marshmellows used to look like bubbles….
I love their hair, hehehe
The water looks almost real
This cake is for a life guard.
I like the beach ball, I could eat that in one!!!
A paddling pool in the back garden
This pool looks great (puts some swimmers in the pool and it will be the icing on the cake) hehehe
The writing is very effective….
This is what I call ingenious..
The wafer sun beds are a real eye catcher…
The tiles must of took a long time to do.
At least they remembered the stairs to climb out the pool.
This must be a gala screenshot..
I like the flowers…
Here is one of our readers cakes……
To make the beach ball appear in mid air, the cake maker used spaguetti and inserted it in the cake – The fun thing is that the spaguetti is flexible so it moves a little from side to side when wiggled, so it was like the kids were really playing….
As you can see, we love cakes……….
