3D Shark
Thanks to Cake Corner for sharing some hints with me for this cake! Although I totally messed up and was not even able to build a stand as instructed, so this cake is luckily staying home for my son because it does not have any inner support to travel with except the board inside the shark. I also broke a few of my own "all edible" rules by making the lower jaw of styrofoam and the fin of paper plate. My son will like it, that is what counts!
Hi! I'd love the instructions too, my ds is shark-mad! You did an amazing job and I can't see any flaws. [email protected]
I don't have reliable instructions for this one and I don't think the lady I got it from wants it to go to everyone... I used an egg pan though on a board, and styrofoam glued underneath for the mouth, and didn't make enough cake so used cake donuts for the rest of the body.
wow. I thought the shark was a toy. it looks perfect.
great cake! i can't even tell that you messed up, it looks perfect. ;-D
Wow! You even got the double rows of teeth, very cool indeed! He's gonna love it!
all i can say is WOW!!
Amazing kitagirl!
I love it !, amazing cake, I like it for my sons too, can you share instruccions???
Awesome job, this came out terrific! Your son is going to flip!!
oooh cooooooooool, yes you will have to share how you did this, IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well the lady from Cake Corner has one that is even cooler, and she sent me a tutorial on how to build a stand because the lower jaw is styrofoam and the upper part is cake on a shaped board and then you screw a wide dowel between the bottom board and shark support board. But it didn't work that way, I cheated and bought an oval premade board and didn't make enough cake so the body behind the egg pan head is actually cake donuts cut and pieced together. So you see it needs some improvements.
Great job!
Amazing. How did you make the eyes?
Just a pat of black fondant and I took a knife and dotted on a bit of white icing.
Improvements??????? what improvements???? this cake is awesome!!!!
LOL...thanks...haha...but if you were a customer, once you cut it you'd be like..um...yeah, improvements. haha. Thanks for all the great comments!
that is one of THE most AWESOME cakes I've ever seen..........I couldn't imagine it looking any more like a real shark.......amazing job.......I would LOVE these instructions if the lady that gave them to you doesn't mind you sharing!! [email protected]
awesome, what else can I say. Your son is going to soooooooooo happy
Suzy, this looks amazing, i've missed seeing your cakes. Great job!! (styrofoam or no : )
Just wanted to say that I think this cake is amazing...AND, I saw the cake you're talking about on cake corner and I think yours is better!
Great job! It looks so wonderful!
WOW! This is awesome. This is perfect for my nephews shark party. What is an egg pan? Can you explain a little more about about the board, like the size and shape and where to get one? I really want to try this but I don't get the construction. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The 3D egg pan is by Wilton, you can find it on Ebay if nowhere else... and you just have to screw a dowel into your baseboard and then put a slanted piece of oval board on top in order to support the cake of the shark so he looks like his mouth is open.
8O TTTTooouuuurrrrnnnn! It's still fantastic! :D
Oh yeah! And I love the double rows of teeth :wink:

The cake is so awesome and I would love to make one for my 9 year old grand daughter as she is so fascinated with sharks. From what I see this post is a few years old but if you have the instructions I would love it if you could share [email protected]
Thanks ever so much
