This is the cake from tonight's class. The Wilton suggestions for this course are extremely boring and ugly, so I had to find something else to make. I covered the cake with fondant and made the beach towel in class tonight; everything else I made at home a couple of days ahead.
I'm really happy with the way this turned out! This was my first time making a fondant cake and working with gum paste, so I feel pretty good about it!

We were supposed to make a draping blanket for class, but I decided to make mine a beach towel and do a whole beach scene.
I made this starfish by making an outline in gum paste with a cookie cutter and sculpting it into shape. I made all of the pore bump things with the end of a piping tip.
The shells and baby starfish are also made from gum paste.
I used smashed animal crackers for the sand...
These flip flops are my favorite!
This bucket isn't exactly what I envisioned, but it still works. It is a cupcake covered in fondant. The bucket handle and shovel are both gum paste. If I do this again, I will use two cupcakes with a smaller handle.

WOW! That really does look amazing! Awesome job on it! Do you ship? :)
Everyone that has seen the pictures has raved about and been very impressed with it!
I'm really impressed. Honestly, this is what you should be doing for a living.
Thanks guys!
Hopefully I will someday do this for a living. I need to get comfortable with charging people first.

Von Little you have outdone your self. This cake is beautiful. Where can I buy your stuff?
Awwww! Thanks Rach :)
Very nice work! I've not had the pleasure of working with fondant, but decorating cakes is so much fun!
I give you a lot of credit, and admire your creativity with this cake! I'm a Wilton instructor, and I love to see students thinking "outside the box" to come up with their own creations using the methods learned class. Good luck with all your cake decorating projects!
I am curious to know what type of food coloring do you use? I am currently taking the Wilton course and have been trying to use natural/vegan food coloring. Can't get vibrant colors, though.
