Gone Fishin'--For Good!
The cake is iced in buttercream, and the fisherman is made from fondant (my first ever attempt at using fondant). The sand is made from vanilla wafer crumbs, and the rocks are chocolate candy rocks. The weeds are pieces of an artificial plant (found at a pet store in the aquarium accessories section), and his fishing rod was taken from a Wilton fisherman figurine (I purchased him just in case the fondant fisherman didn't work out!). Finally, the "Gone Fishin'" sign is a graham cracker iced on to a wooden lollipop stick.

Golf Course
The idea for these cupcakes came from "What's New, Cupcake?" by Karen Tack and Alan Richardson. The sand trap is vanilla wafer crumbs. The golf balls are frozen buttercream icing with white nonpareils on them (I couldn't get them to stick to the gumballs, as the book suggested!) The flag is a pretzel stick with an Air Head candy molded around the top, and the hole is a chocolate chip.
