i wanted to take my kids to the beach on the 4th of July but ever since my husband had a heart transplant, he doesn't like big crowds (which meant the beach was out) so i brought the "beach" to my kids! beach ball is sports ball pan covered in buttercream and fondant panels. the pail is a carved cake w/ fondant handle & shovel and i made the seashells by hand from fondant. ignore the pink one in the middle it looks like a dead squid or jellyfish or something! hahaha!
