This cake was made for a boy turning 6 years old, and was probably came with one of the most rewarding responses I’ve ever had: jaws dropped and eyes wide, he and his other friends were totally awed and happy about it. It has lots of little details, I tried to keep adding more and more and even wish I had done some others things. But it was a lot of fun to make.
The cake is vanilla dyed blue, with chocolate frosting. The blue fishies are marzipan (the kids really loved them) and the rest of the decorations are fondant. I used some silver and gold luster dust, and sprayed here and there with some blue to add some dimension (I used the can you can buy at the grocery store, nothing really technical). Then mixed up some blue shades and tints of green in some dairy icing (very whipped cream tasting) on the tray to increase the water presence.
