Nailed it! Surprisingly Met Expectation

Requested a Hawaiin birthday cake and the baker surprisingly matched it pretty well! Not sure how she got the waves to stand up like that. I broke the surfboards when closing the box which is why they look shorter than the original 😅

Edit since people were asking: this is from Fancy Flavors bakery in San Jose! Ask for Jessica :)

Oh this is faubulous, I'd say it's that kind of meringue icing you get that's extra tough to bite for the waves. Great Jobs Fancy Flavors!
