Beach/luau Cake

This was a big buttercream sheet cake.  I really don't love making sheet cakes.  I find them to be blah, unless you really do things to them that give them some dimension.  Really, they're just a cake.  I rarely get to work with buttercream, but every once in a while a client wants a buttercream cake. Well, I must say that I enjoyed tinting the buttercream and giving the water a bit of dimension.  Used some fondant to make the sun and the palm trees.  All in all, I was pleased with how it came out.  Not so blah after all!
