Tropical Island Cake

So, I do enjoy baking, but even more than the baking, I enjoy the decorating of a cake. I just like to try to creatively think of how to "do it", even at the expense of my sanity at times. And also, the obvious, best choice of something to represent something else.
Oh how terrible it would be to use a plastic palm tree to represent a real palm tree! I must find a way to make it edible.
I must say, I was pleased with the result. Melting green (well white dyed green) wafers and shaping them into fronds on wax paper, and then carefully stacking small Reese's Cups.
It worked great....but summers are too hot and car rides too bumpy for that to work.
However, I was pleased with the effect beforehand, and, as it is a cake design that I have not specifically done before, it is new!
And here it is!
Tada! Isn't it wonderful.
Well, I'm really proud of the starfish at any rate.
