For S & M’s engagement my first thought was not to make anything to wedding-y, given that they would eventually have a wedding cake. Given their love of the beach I came up with a sea/fish themed cake – two tiers, round and chocolate mud. The sand was made from crushed biscuit and the shells and fish were made by pressing modelling paste into silicon moulds, popping them in the freezer for 20 minutes and then pressing them out of the moulds. After they were dry I painted them. The only decoration I cannot claim credit for is the thongs, that were painstakingly made by Alex (thank you).
