Life is always better at the beach!

Thank you, elljay! I used ivory with a hint of warm brown colored flooding icing and a few seconds after applying it, I sprinkled on a mixture of 2 sanding sugars (light gold and white). Then before the "sand" could harden or after 30 mins, I dragged a fondant tool that's fatter than a toothpick to create my "writings in the sand". Then after the icing fully dried, I dusted some coffee bean colored lustre dust in the writings to give them more depth with a shadow effect.

Thank you for sharing your technique. Your job is fantastic and surpasses the great Sweetambs! Well done

Beautiful!
