Margaritaville Birthday Cake
Posted to All Pastries, Celebration Cakes, Novelty Cakes on Monday, May 12th, 2008.Nibblin’ on sponge cake,
watchin’ the sun bake….
All of those tourists covered with oil.
Strummin’ my six string on my front porch swing.
Smell those shrimp
They’re beginnin’ to boil.
Wasted away again in Margaritaville…
The thing about it is that there was actually ‘nibblin’ on sponge cake’ going on here. Well, not so much sponge cake, as red velvet and chocolate fudge cake….but it’s close enough! These 3 cakes were created for a 60th birthday party with a Margaritaville theme at the Hamilton Farm Golf Club in Gladstone, NJ. A parrot on a perch, margarita with a lime, and cheeseburger…..some people claim that there’s a woman to blame, But I know it’s Pink Cake Box’s fault….
Here are the girls in the back making sure the cake is safe in transit:

That parrot is AMAZING. I didn’t realize how big it really was until I saw the picture in comparison to the young lady in the back. Absolutely amazing work! If you don’t mind me asking what did you use to make the beak silver? I wanted fondant “beads” on my wedding cake but can’t find a way to make them a true “silver” color.

Thanks Melisah - you are right the first picture doesn’t really capture the true size of the parrot. To answer your question - we use an airbrush for the coloring on the parrot…
