One of my biggest feats to date. Yes this is all cake. It took several 12x18 sheet cakes, and a few 9x13 to make this one. It consisted of vanilla poundcake, french vanilla, and chocolate cake. All iced in vanilla buttercream. All of the windows, lifeboats, deck, and other trim were made from fondant. The control towers were rice krispie treats. The line across the top was dental floss. The pool was blue piping gel. I made the ship to look like the same one the retiree would be traveling on. It was very big and heavy. The picture just doesn't show that. Probably one of my favorite cakes to date.
