I took ideas from several different luau cakes that I saw here and combined them to create this! It's an 8in+4in round frosted with buttercream. I used fondant for all the accents. The "grass skirt" look was made using buttercream and Wilton's grass tip. The flamingo was hand cut (using a printed picture as a template), then I painted on the details using food coloring. The flamingo's legs are lollipop sticks, attached to the flamingo with wire. The "sand" on top is crushed Special K (I realized I didn't have any graham crackers, which is what I'd planned on using, so I improvised!) I'm happy with how it turned out, but man that grass took forever to do!!! :)
