I made this cake for my sisters 29th birthday, she loves to go on cruises to warm "beachy" places. This cake was my second time covering a cake with fondant and first time making figures out of fondant. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out....lots left to learn though. Don't be disturbed by the book title...my sister loves to read books that are horror, gory type books...and I always tease her about it because I wouldn't even read the cover of the books she reads. :)
