Fun Friday: Cheeseburger in Paradise

Every so often I am tasked with creating an over the top cake and I love the challenge!!! One of my lovely brides wanted to surprise her husband to be with a Jimmy Buffet Cake. She provided me with a few of his favorite Buffet songs and my mind went spinning with different ideas. I put together a few rough sketches as a general concept and tweaked a few details along the way.

I was itching with excitement for months before actually being able to put this cake together, but I was pleased with how all the sugary details came together. The giant cheeseburger, airbrushed surfboard, and parrot set the scene for one heck of a "Parrothead" Extravaganza, but the other small details helped tell the story. A saxophone, a pair of sandals that looks like you could just slip them on, a mustache wearing crab, a corkscrew, a pocket watch set to 5 O'clock, and an anchor all played their role is highlighting several of the groom's favorite songs.
