One to two days in advance, make fondant seashells, beach ball, sailboat and prepare castle pieces. To make 40 seashells,
blend 3 oz. each: medium peach-tinted fondant, light peach-tinted fondant and white fondant to a marbleized look. Press fondant
into cornstarch-dusted molds. Unmold and let dry. Brush seashells with White Pearl Dust™. To prepare castle pieces, you
will need 1 door, 4 windows, 3 small turret towers and turret peaks and 3 medium turret towers and turret peaks. Paint all pieces
with thinned down royal icing and cover with granulated brown sugar; let dry. To make sailboat: Roll fondant 1/8 in. thick, cut out
white boat and cut bottom part of boat in red fondant. Attach bottom to boat with damp brush. Cut 1/8 in. wide x 1/8 in. thick strip
of red fondant and attach to sail with damp brush.
To make beach ball: Roll white fondant 1/8 in. thick and cut with round cutter. Use pattern to cut red, green, blue and yellow
fondant portions and attach to ball with damp brush. Set sailboat and ball on cornstarch-dusted surface to dry. When completely dry,
attach lollipop sticks to backs with royal icing; let dry.
