This was for my son's first birthday. He loved the "Ice Age" movies and this was a cute scene when 'Scrat' got his head stuck in the ice. The "ice" was made of poured sugar that was tinted blue, then I placed it on dowels so it was sitting a few inches above the "water". I painted little sugar cubes to look like ice cubes with the acorn. The cake was covered with butter cream and air brushed. The little 'Scrat' was made of cake and fondant, but my cake wasn't sturdy enough so as he sat there he got fatter and fatter, Next time I will use a pound cake. It was a real trick trying to get his arms to stay up around the ice.
