For a co-workers wife – it was a birthday/anniversary gift. Sweet story – she fell ill and they had to cancel their vacation, he was going to take her to the beach, (she’d never been) He decided to bring the beach to her! My favorite part is the set of little Adirondack chairs and the fence. My husband made them while I worked on the cake. (it was short notice and I didn’t have time to order them.) He also came up with the recipe for the sand – graham crackers, butter and brown sugar. He’s my best helper….. when I can keep him from stealing my icing :D
