Yes, braided pretzels for the tree trunks, royal icing palm leaves, fondant coconuts and blue top. Everything else was cream cheese frosting. Underneath all of that is a Hummingbird Cake, which I think is my favorite. Don't worry -- no hummingbirds were injured during the making of this cake : )

Did you pipe fresh royal icing for the palm leaves or make them in advance and dry them? And what is a hummingbird cake? :lol:

I did pipe the palm leaves ahead of time and dried them on an upside down flower former. You can find a hummingbird recipe on this site. I call it a "dressed up" banana nut bread/cake. It has bananas, pineapple, nuts, and I like to add coconut. Yummy.
