Using the wrap method, cover a tall cake with white fondant. Mine was a 7” round x 10” tall.
Cover a 6” round x 3” tall dummy with white fondant like normal. When it is dry, cover the other side too.
Step 3:
Mix up 300g of stiff royal icing and put some in 5 separate bowls as shown. Colour with: Americolor Electric Yellow and Lemon Yellow Americlour Electric Blue and Sky Blue Americolour Super Black Wilton Ivory
Step 2: Step 4:
Mix in some water to thin down the light blue icing and begin to paint broad areas for the shallow water.
Step 5: Step 6: Step 7: Step 8:
Start painting areas with the black and yellow. This can be thick to add texture, but add a little water if you need.
Using a finer brush paint the diagonal black stripes to add some fun patterns of the beachfolk.
With a broader brush begin painting the blue of the sea.
Add an area of fleshtone royal icing by mixing a tiny amount of ivory paste to some of your white.
