Hand-Painted Beach Cake

This was for my MIL's 88th birthday. My SIL is a very talented artist, so we collaborated on her mom's cake. First we bought the cute little chairs at a dollhouse store, then she used the yellow color to inspire a beachy-sailboat design and she painted the whole thing. Then I finished it up with some graham-cracker sand, and chocolate and fondant accents, and a tiny gumpaste NY Times crossword puzzle which is placed on one of the chairs. We had so much fun plus I THINK I've got my SIL hooked on cake-painting!
