The wood is fondant that I hand painted to give it a grain. The pearls are hand crafted from fondant and strug with ribbon. The coins are the fun chocolate kind and the sand is graham crakers mixed with brown sugar.
The lid is styrofoam for the sake of keeping it light, so don't eat it.
The best part about this cake is that I made it with banana cake with banana frosting. My son said it was the best tasting cake I ever made ... and I've made a lot.
This cake is very versatile. It was made for a baptism, but would be perfect for a wedding shower or baby shower as well. It can also be made in any colors you want to match any party.
