Today was my nephew’s 7th birthday and the request was for a cake with sea creatures, so I decided on a nemo cake.
Everything was edible… from the wooden sign, to the shells and nemo. My neice polished off a turtle upon arrival!
I used edible pearls as bubbles and first impression moulds for the seahorses/fish/shells and turtles. My 4 yr old helped paint them using gel colours mixed with some alcohol. Ialso used some silver lustre dust for the sea horses/shells and petal dust for some of the fish.
I crushed up some biscuits for the sand and used my Wilton letter press for the fondant cake board. The birthday boy was thrilled with the end result!
Wow! You are such a talented cake decorator. This Nemo cake is amazing. I completely love cake decorating too that’s why I started this site – http://www.showusyourcakes.com, to support home-based cooks and professionals alike. We would love it if you stopped by and shared some of your creations.
Hi, I came across this wonderful creation of yours and had a question. I am attempting my first cake for my daughters 2nd birthday. I need to do 3D letters and a cake topper. In your opinion would fondant mixed with gum tex suffice or should I use straight gum paste?
