Island Birthday Cake

This was the cake I decorated for my Dad and 3 year olds birthday-- they share a birthday, isn't that neat? My dad loves fishing, and we just got back from a trip to San Diego a week ago where we spent a lot of time at the beach, so this is the idea I came up with.

The palm tree I made out of paper and a wooden skewer, the fishing pole was a wooden skewer and dental floss of all things, the shells were made from white and milk chocolate swirled together and placed in a chocolate mold, and the sand was crushed Nilla Wafers.

What do you think? (Have I mentioned I LOVE comments?)
