Pool Party Cake

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE the endless possibilities that American candies offer for cake decor? This Pool Party cake is a good example....
My favorite part was making the pool slide out of an ice cream cone, pretzel sticks and a fruit roll up. Full disclosure - not my ideas, but borrowed from something I saw in some foodie magazine somewhere.

And there's little Teaser Teddy in her hot orange 2-piece, waiting to take the plunge...

The Teddy Grahams were too cute not to dress up in swimsuits. Doughnut-shaped sour candy thingies became the life-preservers. Jolly Ranchers split in half were dandy little poolside-loungers. It was fun making the ladder out of pretzel sticks glued together with marshmallows.I wish I could have found just blue and white "Chiclets", but my only local resource was the El Rancho market and all they had were the multi-colored packs. Ah well. This was before my discovery of fondant, so colorful pool tiles they were.
