Dad's birthday

A cake for my Dad who loves to travel. A trip around the world (cake style). I had the itinerary all written out with the names of all the 5 star hotels he would stay at and what he would see... It was awesome. The idea was that he would circumnavigate the globe. I wanna go with him.

Pack your bags: we leave from Las Vegas and fly to the big island of Hawaii, where he will sit on the beach and eat fresh pineapple and drink pina coladas. (the green umbrella)
From Hawaii, he will fly to Beijing, China and visit the Great Wall and Tienanmen Square and the Forbidden City.
From Beijing to Cairo, Egypt to see the Pyramids (and stay in the most amazing hotel on Pyramid row). Then up (on the cake) to snorkel in the Seychelles. Hotel has a private pool and jacuzzi for each bungalow, and private beach.

From the Seychelles, he flies to Pisa, Italy to visit the leaning tower of that city. A few nights in a villa in Tuscany, then he takes a train to...

Geneva, Switzerland to visit the Jet d'eau on Geneva lake. From Geneva, he heads to Paris, France to see the Eiffel tower. (He is not required to go to the top...)

Then, back to Las Vegas, with a stop at Chicago to catch a game at Wrigley Field (ran out of room on the cake). All the way around the globe on a cake for your birthday, Dad! I hope it was a great one!

Everything on this cake is edible, except the pole on the umbrella. I made it all by hand. The Eiffel Tower on top was made out of royal icing in 20 separate pieces, then when they dried, I glued them together with more royal icing. The Las Vegas sign and the Jet d'eau are also Royal icing, everything else is fondant or gumpaste.
