To make the towers of the cake, I used stacked cupcakes. The sand pail is made of the top half of an ice cream cone covered in sprinkles. The flag and shovel are made of Airheads. The cake was frosted, then covered in crushed graham crackers. To decorate the beach ball, I frosted it and painted on the stripes with food coloring. Finally, I wrote "DEFEND" in the sand around the castle.
