Seashells for Eileens boyfriends mothers cake :D...

My granddaughter has had a little "boyfriend" for a while now, well, as long as she keeps up her grades, all's well. The boys mother is a beautician and so she bought the Brazilian products  and gave Eileen the relaxer. Eileen was jumping for joy!  So she asked me if I could please make a cake for the woman whose birthday is Sunday. Well of course I said yes! Not that I wanted too, cos my back can't take the hassle but...I'll deal with the pain and then collapse and flake out after it's all done.

She wanted it sea themed and decorated with shells,and showed me a couple of pics from the net. So today all day I've been making shells. Some of them were made with a Wilton silicone mold but those were too flat and the starfish just look like flat stars, so I molded the rest by hand. The cake will be in shades of blue, in what is called 'ombre' from darkest at the bottom to lightest at the top, I've never done that before so I've been watching videos to get an idea, the shells will just be painted with pearl dust...anyway I just finished cleaning up the mess, and tomorrow I'll make the frosting and the board. I just took Advil for the painnnn! And now shower and bed, cause I have work to do tomorrow, and day after, and day  after... :)
