It's a Beach Party!

We celebrated my niece's 5th birthday with a beach themed party.  The base cake is a 2 layer 1/4 sheet cake.  The sandcastle and beach ball are also made of cake.  The sand is a combination of brown sugar and crushed up graham crackers.  I sculpted the turtles out of gum paste.  The water is blue tinted butter cream.  I beach ball is piped with butter cream.
