I made this for my best friend's 30th birthday, she wanted to go to Hawaii but didn't make it, so I brought the islands to her. I used buttercream frosting with brown sugar and crushed graham crackers for the sand and fondant and gumpaste for the figures with chocolate seashells. My first time making a person and despite a few issues I think it came out pretty cute. She was happy with it and that was all I wanted:)
