This cake was so much fun to do! I had a lot of inspiration from here on beach themes and then I looked at some pictures of monkeys to make my own type of cartoon monkeys.The sand is brown sugar and the water is piping gel.There are Starbursts aligned along the bottom for a little extra color.The towel, surf board, and tube were made with gumpaste and the monkeys were made with fondant.The only thing not made on this cake were the umbrellas. critique subgroup member...Thanks for looking! :D
