Fisherman's Birthday Cake!

I was asked to make a man's birthday cake for this Saturday.
I was told that he liked fishing.
So after trying to decide how I was going to create a fishing cake, but still make it one-of-a-kind (you know not just the themed ones you can buy in the freezer section at grocery stores).............
I was inspired.
And this is what I came up with, piece by piece.

A Lake Of Cake.
I marbled the fondant so it looks like water!

Almost everything is handmade by me out of fondant.
The fishing pole is a wooden skewer.
I hung thread from the fishing pole and attached a handmade fondant sinker. :)

The cat-tail plants are made out of jelly bellies :)
What fisherman wouldn't love to be able to eat jelly belly plants while on his fishing trip?

The trees are ice cream cones frosted with buttercream leaves ♥

Looks like someone caught some fish!

The seashells are edible chocolate.

Pupcakes for Tessa

Tessa is a sweet girl I met at my church.
She has one of the happiest and brightest spirits I have seen in a little girl.
I realized what a big heart she has when she ran up to hug me the day after we had just met.

Tessa's birthday was this last Sunday, and her heart came out through the spirit of her birthday party.
Instead of receiving gifts, she decided that all of her party guests should bring gifts for the animals at the local animal shelter! She brought the gifts to the animal shelter and bonded with the little doggies later in the day.

In the joy of Tessa and the doggies, I created pupcakes that were 100% edible---from the cake, to the eyeballs, the jellybean nose, the sparkly ears, and the muzzle!
