30th birthday desert and ocean scene cake

This cake was made for a good friend's 30th birthday celebration that was held at the Arizona Science Center. The design was selected because she has a love for science and the environment. Besides the common interest of science, Lorraine and I also share the same birthday! This 2 tier cake had tons of detail. The ocean scene had dolphins, fish, sea turtles, sea horses and the beach had tiny little shells and a pair of pink flip flops. The top tier had mountains, saguaro cactus, snake, lizard and a butterfly. My son and I not only delivered the cake, but we got to enjoy the great party. My son's favorite part was eating the cake but he also enjoyed the dinosaur exhibit. He's my biggest fan and especially loves the fondant decorations - another friend mentioned that he's probably the only 2 year old that knows what fondant is. This cake is a 10 inch and 8 inch with chocolate cake, cookies and cream filling on the bottom tier and strawberry mousse on the top tier.
