Made this for a 50th birthday. The whole thing is piped with a #2 round tip. This was killer on hands, they hurt for like 3 days afterwards. The flowers are gumpaste, the seashells are chocolate and the trees & hula dancers are plastic. The top tier is lemon cake with raspberry filling, the middle was strawberry cake with strawberry filling and the bottom tier was chocolate with buttercream filling. Made to look like a cake my friend had seen online.
