First time ever making a skateboarding themed cake. Cakes for older boys can get tricky, add too much and it gets to looking too girly. Lucky for me, this family had a pretty firm idea of what they wanted.
Originally it was going to be just a skateboard shaped cake. But we got to talking and decided on a Vans inspired red and black checkerboard with some skateboard decorations.
These skateboards are gumpaste painted with icing gell colors. I know that on a real skateboard it's the bottom of the deck that is painted and decorated, but I thought that it would look weird to have them upside down, so I painted the tops. Artistic license.
And some cupcakes to go along with it all for easy serving at the party.
