Beach Retirement Cake

This was a 6, 9, and 12" cake, done in bc. I made the adorandack chair and fencing out of gumpaste. The shells and lady were made from fondant. I put brown sugar around the tiers to finish off the beach look.

thanks nymoose, it really wasn't too hard, just cutting strips of gumpaste and trying to fit them together once they are dry:)
