3D Fish cake

After seeing a tutorial online of this cake, I decided to do my own version.  Kudos to the lady who so freely gave the tutorial.  She made it look much easier than it is.  It took me longer than I thought to sculpt the bass out of rice cereal treats. And covering him in fondant was a long mystery.  Took me some time to figure it out. But - the finished work is lovely, I think.  Love the way the water looks.  The clients were super pleased and said it tasted and looked amazing.

Inside was a coconut cake with coconut filling.  Outside was my standard buttercream.

Fish Cake

Was commissioned to do this lovely creature for the birthday of a man who loves to fish.  Surprisingly easy and a lot of fun. I think he was a bit too "green around the gills" but everyone thought he looked incredible.  So glad I decided to use a real cutting board for my cake platter.

Cake was chocolate lightly frosted in buttercream and covered in fondant. Fondant and fins were all hand sculpted and painted.
