Greetings, All!
Theresa here, your emcee for the Beach and Nautical Cake Decorating Throwdown!
Our contestants have worked hard to get your attention and win your vote, so let's get down to business! And, as always, ALLEZ CAKE!
Descriptions:
Contestant 1
Nantucket Summer
This is a representation of a day at the beach and the signs are Nantucket township signs. The finish is all buttercream with crushed graham crackers for the "sand". All of the detail work is made from gumpaste including the chairs and the fence (even the "wire" that holds the posts together). The only non-edible part is the wire that holds the teeny rosa rugosa flowers and leaves and grass together.
Contestant 2
Seahorses with Waves
8" and 10" tiers on a 12" silver cake plate; white chocolate seashells, and seahorses; fondant finish and flowers painted blue; wave lines painted with silver luster dust; and the center support dowels are covered in white chocolate "coral."
I just love these throwdowns! The creativity is awesome! These cakes are incredible! It is so hard to decide! Excellent work!
out of all the throwdowns this was the hardest one for pick to choose the one I prefer! They are both incredibly well done and so creative.
Loved the beach chairs and little signs... the whole style fits with the Nantuket theme ... super casual and laidback
but also loved the super cute seahorses and fabulous coral seperator!
Excellent job both of you!
Both of these cakes are soooo beautiful. You have made it very difficult to decide! I wish I could vote for both of them.
I honestly don't think I can vote for either. They are both just so well done, I can't decide.
Awesome!!!! I love them both!! Great job girls!
So does anyone know where to find the other TD's to vote?
Joanne...you vote at the top of page one of the thread.
Gaby...check out the main CC #3 TD thread in the general topics it has all the links posted.
TDer's these cakes are beautiful, again two entirely different interpretations of the same theme. Excellent work!!

OH MY! How beautiful they BOTH are! How to choose between the perfectly detailed Nantucket cake, and the strikingly elegant Seahorse cake.
Extraordinary work by each!
can't . decide . which . one . too . wonderful . to . choose . help!
Oh c'mon...how the heck do ya choose between these!!!!!
Seriously, BOTH of these cakes ROCK.
These are so awesome! I love the adirondack chairs and also love the coral and seahorses. Another very difficult decision!
This entry was the most difficult for me to decide on. Both are extremely wonderful! They both had calming effects on me Congrats to both of you talented CCers.
Amy
Yep, this one was the hardest decision for me. I still can't choose! Well done, ladies!!!
I have one small critique. I can't click on the Nantucket cake to see the details better. I would have liked to see a bigger picture.
Both , are absolutely gorgeous. On a side note I will be doing a wedding cake in Oct that is going to be VERY close to the first submission down to the chairs as the topper (already have them and they are adorable). It's nice to get an idea of what the cake is going to look like...lol gmta!
Congrats to both contestants on jobs very well done!
CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH CONTESTANTS!
I think your work is stunning - very difficult to choose as are all the other cakes on the TD - lol
All the contestants in the TD'S are winners in my books!!
wow !!! I just checked and it is SOOOO Close to like one vote and this is the first day!!! WOW
This one is my favorite throwdown! Hardest to decide... they are both really cute! Great job!
Both these cakes are fabulous & are so well thought out & designed. I love them both. Wonderful work both of you.
I love them both! Had to choose so I did but I have several questions for you both! Be prepared for me to PM you when you post them in your galleries!!!!
