I am making a cake in the shape of a trout, it needs to feed aprox. 30 people. Any ideas out there on how to go about it. What I am thinking is a trout mounted on a board. I plan to cover it in fondant. It is for someone I have never made a cake for before and I would like it to be really a good looking fish. Thanks in advance for any ideas. usaribbon.gif

I made a trout cake last week. It is a trout, but a little too fat. I used a football pan for the fish and airbrushed color on buttercream icing. hope it helps. I can email a picture if you like.

Ok, my trout is made now I am going to spray color it. I want it to be shiny when I am done. I know that brushing the fondant with water will make it shine but that is a lot of fondant to let dry before I spray it. Or is there something else maybe an extract that I could use that will dry faster and be more tasty (without overpowering taste that is). Or can I spray it while wet and not have the color run. I am using Wilton spray color. Thanks in advance. usaribbon.gif

I did a smoked walleye cake for my hubby's annual fishing trip. It turned out so nice! I have a pic on my website under whimsical sculpted cakes. I covered it in Fondant and hand painted the color on. I used a #10 tip to make the scales. I pressed the tip into the fondant like a million times!!

They tend to be fatter because the reality is that it is cake. My walleye was quite plumper than the real thing!

I have covered my fish in fondant (Wilton's), can it be refrigerated without my spray colors getting messed up? usaribbon.gif

I refridgerate fondant all the time. I use Swiss buttercream which is perishable. Some say yes others say no.

Thanks, I covered it last night with fondant and she is picking it up tomorrow, that will be 2 days out and Wilton says up to 3 days but not to refrigerate it. They aren't serving the cake till Saturday (which will be day 3), I want to be sure it is still fresh enough. usaribbon.gif
