Birthday Cake

This is my wife's birthday cake that I made for her in April. I got the idea on-line and enjoyed making it.

Scene 2, Test 2

I got the particles to show up, but they're still not quite right. Only some of the particles ended showing up in the scene. Also the timing is all off now... :(

Scene 2, Test 1

Well....I thought I had a completed scene, but the particles for the sand didn't show up in the final render. Also, the color and lighting need to be changed. Back to the drawing board....
