"Happy Birthday & All That Jazz" - New Orleans Themed BD Cake

This cake is a surprise for 3 people in my family all celebrating birthdays in the same week. My nephew 9/21, my niece 9/24, & my sister 9/26. I also made a Captain America bd cake for my brother who's bd is 9/28. Tried posting it but guess it hasn't arrived thru cyber space yet. We were all born & raised in New Orleans this the New Orleans theme. I cheated a little bit w/the edible icing image on top but all the decorations were made by me. Especially proud of my little crawfish character. Didn't notice at 1st but "Poydras" is misspelled. The "y" is missing.

Thanks Betty, Gali, & Bonnie. Betty, if you're ever able to make it to N.O. I'm sure you would love it. Bonnie, everyone loved the little crawfish dude & fought over who was going to get him...LOL. I kinda wish I would have brought him back home. I miss the little guy :-)

Thanks June. Sandra, actually there's 1 more birthday believe it or not. My mom's birthday is also 9/24 but she's no longer w/us. She passed away in 2000.

Thanks June & Sandra. June, we New Orleanians are very colorful...LOL. Sandra, I was afraid maybe I had overdone it a bit but I'm happy w/how it came out. Thanks again ladies.

I love the little crawfish, too, with his umbrella and the lamp post.  This is really a pretty remarkable cake, Denise!  September was a good month for your family, wasn't it - lol ?
