I want to do a cake with a dolphin coming out of the top with waves splashing. I thinks I know I'm going to do the dolphin out of fondant but I would liek to do some wave splashes on the bottom of the dolphin. Is there anyone out there that can help me on this.

It's kind of like the cake Colette Peters did on Food Network a while back for the sports theme - she did a fishing cake.

I think i would do them either out of chocolate, free form. Or gumpaste, maybe textured with some royal icing.

Thanks Peg818.

I definately can't do them out of chocolate as the cake has to be completely dairy free so I'm stuck with gum paste or fondant. Just not sure how I should shape them. I don't want it to heavy as it will be setting on top of a cake.

By the way where in Upstate are you?

Here is a cake KarenOR recently did. Her big wave is made out of gumpaste, so maybe you could PM her with the "how to's"?

And here is one more I found in the galleries that has a big wave made by Florimbio...
