Luau!

The original conversation went a little like this:

So...I need to talk to you about a volcano cake
Sure! Are you thinking "human sacrifice" or "Luau"?
You know, she'd be delighted with either one...but how about we go with Luau?
Okie dokie!


I lost count of how many layers of chocolate sponge cake  I stacked up for the volcano.  But it was a lot of chocolate cake all held together with chocolate ganache.


Surrounding "island" is vanilla cake, more ganache and crushed up graham crackers for "sand".
Modeling chocolate and gum paste trees, thinned out orange buttercream frosting for the lava and swirling buttercream waves finished out the cake.


The mom sent me an inside view.  A special inside lava surprise!
