I made mine from a chocolate cake. I baked a 10x10 cake off and split it equally. Taking the two pieces make one long cake. I torte a fill the cakes and chill them. I sculpt the basic shape of the fish with a serrated knife. Crumb coat entire fish. I covered mine in fondant. To make fins like the top fins and belly fins. I cut the shaped from fondant also. I let these air dry so they can be inserted into the cake. To get the detail I use fondant tools. Score where the gills are and make eye using a ball tool. To makes scales take a round tip like a ten or larger and insert into the fodant a million zillion times! Do not put scales on the belly! To paint my fish I used brown gel paste and green gel paste mixed with drinking alcohol. This is sooooo easy! To get some gold I used super gold to add the metallic sheen on the fish. paint the fish and insert the fins. Be sure to paint the under side of the fin before you insert it. For the eye fill with small amount of piping gel and add an eyeball! I am sure I forgot something so let me know!
