Rockport Red Fish

Rockport Red Fish on Cake Central

German Chocolate Cake with GC filling. Fondant covered with fondant accents and handpainted in a color wash. Shells are made of white chocolate and hand painted. Not the greatest picture... but will change it out with the one the photographer will give me at the wedding. TFL

WOW, I've never thought of fish as 'pretty', but you've shown me the light! That is really gorgeous! And with the shell cakes, I can imagine what an impressive display that way!

critique group member: wow! this is one of the nicer fish I have seen on this site. Your colors for the fish are very nice. they all compliment each other very well and your fins look real. The only thing I would critique is that the fish is very realistic looking but you do not have it in a realistic position. I am not sure what style cake you used to carve it? But overall it is very professionally done.

Critique subgroup member: just an AWESOME cake!! I love the detail you put into it and I love how you designed the fish. It's very refreshing to see one that is different and looks more like a 3D work of art :)

I found a picture on a website of a necklace charm in the shape I wanted, then used my Printshop program to "blow it up" and used it to carve the outline. Then shaped it. It was actually quite easy.. .I fretted more than I needed to haha.

Critique subgroup member: This is a very unique take on the regular fish cake, which is rather blah to start with, but yours is so much more lively. Your fish colors are lovely. Would like to see more definition between fish and water though. Also, I'd have tried to work the cake board a bit better so the tail did not come so close to the end. Might have broke in transit. But those are minor details, because this cake is very well done! Bravo!

critique subgroup member: Very realistic looking, the details are fantastic! I have to agree that the position of the fish looks a bit awkward? but then again I am certainly no fish expert!

Critique Subgroup Member: I like this fish a lot. It looks soooo realistic and I really like that back fin. And German chocolate is my favorite cake! Great job on the fish painting/shading.

Critique Subgroup Member: This "fish" is terrific! The detail is awesome. I do a lot of 3d and carved cakes and this one is inspiring! The colors are perfect. Yeah move the fish up a little but he looks so real he probably moved there himself! This cake is great, keep it up.
