Beach time!!

I made this cake for my friend's daughter for her 6th birthday!  The only inedible items on the cake were the umbrellas!!  It was a single layer marble cake.  I carved the top and rearranged the carved portions to make a flat "water" area and a raised "beach".  The beach is graham cracker crumbs with a little sugar (for some sparkle!), the water is blue piping gel.  The bridge was made of chocolate wafer cookies glued together with royal icing.  The bears are Teddy Grahams (regular and mini sized), with royal icing bathing suits.  I used peach rings and gummy life-savers as inner tubes.  The beach towels are tie-dye fruit roll-ups.  The 2 beach balls are made out of fondant and hand painted with food colors.  The trees are made of Oreo sticks with green fondant leaves (attached together with royal icing).  The "No Lifeguard" sign is actually made from royal icing and painted with a food writer.
