I have a cake that just got ordered and it's a white cake with carmel filling and chocolate icing.."Oh and put some fish on it" the customer sayes after i told them that if they wanted any images, it's better with white icing...go figure..
oh, and "can we have it by the morning?" Okay, so I am looking for some fish designs and also a big 10 for the top of a 10" with happy birthday with it. It is for a 10 year old girl...

Not to meantion that I am running outta chocolate supplies that I can't get, I am watching a hotel, have to cook with gas oven (when it's 90) and I have 2 kids....

Oh how I wish I could help. Have you thought of doing colorflow? Or royal icing fish & a #10. I hope it works out for you.

look on the internet for coloring book pages of fish!!!

or use clip art in your word processor

and for the 10

just type 10 in your word process and set font size to one big enough you are happy.

Here's some fish. You could do colorflow with. Just change the colors around.

If it were me I'd probably do a FBCT, since you dont really have the kind of time to do colorflow. YOu could also pipe some little fish around the side of the cake, I saw this in the 2006 wilton yearbook pg 18 if you have it. They used tip 10 to make an oval shape and tip 3 to do lips and little fins, kind of cute. I was going to do a fish cake for my dad but didnt. I have these fish saved, but they might be "manly fish" for a girl

merissa is right. I forgot about the time line and colorflow does need at least 48 hours to fully harden. Sorry! Hope you get the inspiration you need.

Thanks for the advice..

I did google some images and also worked with photoshop for the number but thought I would try you guys also.

Unfortunatly, the only thing I have to work with is soft BC

for the "10"...

got sugar cubes????

could use BC to ice them together to make the numbers. when dry they'd even stand up.

Hello;

If you do have some chocolate, then try doing chocolate transfers, you could use any of the images already posted.
Of, if you have a fish shaped cookie cutter, use that to gently mark a fish image on the chocolate icing. Outline the fish with #2 tip,make the eyes in white & chocolate icing, then use a leaf tip in overlapping rows to resemble scales. You can use white icing & then sprinkle some edible glitter on it. Voila! a cute fish (quick & easy)
Hope this helps
