Is that real?

That was the question of the night.  And oh yeah, that is real cake.  This cake was for a surprise party for my sister.  Her husband had it catered by a local Mexican restaurant and requested a cake to match the theme.  So cacti it was!

A detailed look at one of the intricate flowers on the cake.

 Here's a bit more of a closeup of the cactus cake.  The "dirt" was chocolate cake crumbles and it looked incredibly realistic.

The main flower.

The backside of the cake.

Overall a really fun cake to make, but even more fun to surprise her!
