that's fantastic! the edible palm trees are nifty!

did you use 3 layer cakes, and build it up into volcano form?

looks tasty!

Thanks everyone! I thought you guys would get a kick out of it..

yes.. I made it using one 8 inch round cake and two 5 (?) inch round cakes.. then stacked them.. I could have also probably used one of the bowl cake pans.. to make the top part.. I carved the top cake a little so it was more "rock like" and added some of the cut off pieces to the outer sides to make it look a little less symmetrical.. I think the edible palm trees were my favourite part.. (though I'm not terribly keen on spearmint leaves.. the trunks were tasty..)

and.. as much as I would have loved to make the girls run screaming in terror away from the lava.. they seem to be stuck in perpetual hula mode.. so I just envisioned them performing a ritual hula to try and appease the angry volcano gods.. (they weren't too successful)
