Flip Flop Cake

Last weekend I had the chance to make a cake for a high school friend's daughter's first birthday. I was originally going to make a two-tiered Hawaiian-themed cake with a grass skirt and a handmade sugar hibiscus on top. I even went out and bought a cutter and mold for the hibiscus so that the flower would be truly Hawaiian - not just a big pretty flower.

Well, it turns out that April's guest list got rather large and her budget didn't allow for a cake to feed that many. So she decided she'd make cupcakes for the guests and have me make a "smash cake" for Brooklyn. She sent me a picture of a cake she liked with polka dots and flip flops on top.

Here's what I did:
