Drop it like you're clumsy

Description
As the day of cake making came to an end, I realized there are a few things I REALLY like and a few things I cannot stand.
Things I like:
1. cake
2. fondant
3. frosting
4. squishing cake and frosting with my hands (clean hands)
Things I dislike:
1. waste
2. doing dishes
In order to get out of dishes and to use up lots of cake scraps, extra frosting and extra fondant, I decided to see what would happen if I took all the cake scraps left over from my friend's carved cake and mixed them together with frosting. I had scraps from chocolate, strawberry and white cakes and reddish pink frosting. When they were mixed together it looked like a sad neapolitan ice cream disaster and then I remembered the "Drop it like you're clumsy" shirt.
I shaped my cake/frosting concoction into a dome and covered it with leftover white butter cream frosting so that it looked like one scoop of ice cream and used left over green frosting to create the grass. I took left over fondant from other projects to make the banana and painted it with liquid food coloring. The letters came from fondant that was going to cover another cake, but kept tearing. It was perfect for cutting out letters. I then cracked the "ice cream" scoop so that it looked like it splatted on the grass and placed the banana next to it so show cause and effect.
Of all the cakes, this one tasted the best because it had a little bit of everything inside, but looked so sad on the outside. However, there is a five second rule, so I was able to eat the cake!
