Hello everyone, I am making a wedding cake for a friend of mine, her weddign is in October of this year. She wants a fishing theme, Please help... she wants some bass fish on the sides of the cake , how or what should I do about this, do I paint or cut out a fish shape out of fondant then paint it? I need some ideas an advice...

Depending on the size, etc., that you want, there's a chocolate mold (prob several) that would make it go a lot faster. Luster dust is also great because it gives the shiny metallic fish scale look. Run a gallery search and you'll see some really great work!

My thoughts went to the chocolate molds also.

yep, chocoloate mold was my first thought also but if she is wanting an animated cake you could do chocolate transfers. There is also colorflow. You can find articles on CC to do the transfers and color flow.

The chocolate modls would probably be easiest. You could probably get a cookie cutter and cut fish out of fondant (or even make cookies) and then decorate, paint, etc.

If you have access to an airbrush, you might even be able to buya stencil and paint the fish directly onto the cake.
