Come Sail Away...

Just finished a birthday cake for one of my mom's co-workers.  Bet you can't tell what her favorite hobby is!  I attempted to carve the deck, which proved to be a little bit more difficult than I expected.  I covered the cake in a brown fondant, since she has a teak sailboat.  The sails are made of gum paste and are really, really, really fragile.  

Happy Birthday Joyce!

Ready to set sail!
