Blue Hawaii Cake

I called this cake Blue Hawaii because is flowery and blue theme. My friend, who's order this cake, she requested for theme of pink, blue and purple. I had decide to make for her a blue theme because last time I made for my daughter's birthday was pink and also she saw my daughter's cake, that why she order.

After I delivery to her, she was so excited to see, and she said to me it's so beautiful and she love it. Make me smile hahaha.  

The flower I made by myself too, I also mix myself the gum-paste and roll by hand to form a flower. I am proud of this work.
