I made this cake for my son's 9th birthday party. I sculpted all the animals out of fondant. The cattails are toothpicks with fondant tops. It looked better in the second picture (before my six year old smashed down on the plastic top that was covering it and smooshed the blue cake into the real cake and I had to fix it) but that pic is fuzzy (my camera stinks). It was entirely edible except the toothpicks in the cat tails. I was pretty proud of it even though I took a short cut and decorated it in the pan.
