Beach Ball Birthday Bash

This cake was made for a little guy that turned two this past weekend. He celebrated his birthday with a pool party.
His mom gave me the go ahead to design whatever kind of cake I wanted. We decided on a beach ball themed cake, to match his birthday balloons.
The cake and cupcakes were yellow cake.
The beach ball was RK's, fondant and gum paste.
I used disco dust on the "water" curls, but I still haven't mastered the art of taking pictures that show that small detail.
