Golf/Navy Re-enlistment Cake!

This cake is a homemade strawberry cake with lemon curd buttercream filling, covered with homemade marshmallow fondant. I baked two layers of 18x10 inch sheet cakes and stacked them with the lemon buttercream in between. I then carved cut off the corners and rounded them. Then I crumb coated the cake and let it chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Then put the final coating of icing on, rolled out the fondant and covered the cake! Then I airbrushed the cake green. I made the trees from the fondant by making a cone with a skewer going through the middle. I took a pair of scissors and snipped around the trees to make all the points. I sculpted the sailor from fondant as well and hand painted his uniform with black food coloring. The sand pit was made from light brown sugar. I tinted some butter cream green and piped some grass onto the cake with the wilson's grass piping tip. Walla you have the cake.
