See the fish in my pictures. It was SUPER easy to do. Just make a 9X13. Cut it in a fish shape corner to corner. Cover with BC. Place rolled fondant over it. I used a large round tip to make the scales. I then cut the fondant for the fins. I used the back of a knife to texturize the fins and then attached with water. I painted the fish mixing vodka w/ the gel colors and then also used strait gel colors to get the deeper colors. This is a pearch. I just finished a bass for a customer. I have several other fish cakes done that I have not posted yet. They have become my best seller!
"Another great idea is to use the circle end of a metal piping tip, pushed into the fondant only halfway...to get the look of scales! (I think Colette Peter's uses this in her book for the Fish.)"
Yes, that is what I meant when I was talking about the the large circle tip. I find that the end of the piping tip made the scales look too big, so I use a large round tip to make them. And this fish is the one I modeled after Colette Peter's the Art of Decorating book.
I love your fish cakes!! You both did a great job!! Maybe I will think about making this for my father-in-law for fathers day as his is always talking about taking the kids fishing!! (only he hasn't done it yet!!) 
Great ideas guys!!

I did a fishing cake & used one of Calidawn's phrases on it. It said "Catch me if you can" With the person's name underneath it. I also made a waterfall & lake. I used the Wilton fisherman in the boat then I used another bigger bass jumping around in the water. Take a look in my photos. You could do this on a round cake too. Have fun!
I did a cake, posted in photos, that had a fisherman holding a pole, you could see him from the waist up. The only fish poking out of the water was a little tiny one, but all around the bottom of the cake were larger fish. On the board I wrote "Fish tremble at the mention of his name". The cake was really easy, and the fish were molds. The fisherman was a little more difficult, but that's because I have limited abilities as a sculptor ha ha ha
