This cake was for my oldest son's 3rd birthday. The pirate ship is florist's foam that I carved and then covered in fondant. The trees are made of gumpaste.
This was my youngest son's first birthday cake. I went with a jungle theme and made a giraffe, monkeys and an elephant out of gumpaste. The palm trees are also out of gumpaste. The gumpaste dries rock hard, so the figures can be kept for however long you want.
