3d Sculpted Octopus Birthday Cake for Taylor. Her Dad, Jason wanted to surprise his daughter with an Octopus Birthday Cake. He said she loves octopus, wanted it to look real. He said he couldn't wait to see her face when he walks up with it. We would love to see your face too when you first see it. Happy Birthday Taylor! Enjoy and have a great day. The cake flavor was red velvet w/ cream cheese buttercream filling, covered in a chocolate ganache then covered in fondant. All is edible. The tentacles are cake and some are all fondant. The body or head of the octopus is red velvet cake. Bubble, grass, shells and crab are fondant also.
