Rubber Ducky in Bathtub

This was a cake that I made for my child's first birthday party. He loved duckies and bubbles at the time so I decided to try to put the ducky in a bubble bath. I used the Wilton 3d rubber ducky pan for the ducky and iced him with buttercream. I made a hat for him by cutting off the bottom of an ice cream cone and wrapping it in fondant and placed that on ducky's head. The bathtub is made of regular fondant and I molded it around a pan and let it dry overnight. The next day I placed ducky in the tub and filled it with jelly beans and rolled fondant to look like bubbles. I carved the knobs out of fondant and painted them with the silver luster dust and used a food writer marker for the H and C. Everything else is made of marshmallow fondant. The soap is glazed with a pearl luster dust in hopes of making it look wet.
