Sugar Beach
Seaside nuptials call for a whimsical design inspired by ocean life.

Clam Bake

Clams, shells, starfish and even a happy crab (all sugarpaste) adorn this four-tier beauty. For textural interest, there's a beach fence and fish netting.

Scattered at the bottom: bright blue and aqua sea glass made of sugar.

Statuesque seahorses and a crown of fondant initials add a regal look.
