This was for my stepdaughter's 20th Birthday (Christmas Day). She requested the Martini theme, even though she isn't old enough to drink.

The cake is iced in crusting buttercream, and the cake is a combination of red velvet and chocolate. One 10" round (3" high) and one 5" round (3" high).

This was the first fish cake I created using fondant (it was apple-cinamon cake) back in February 2007 in preparation for my stepdaughter's wedding on March 31, 2007. I baked the 3 cakes that made up the Grooms Cake Display entitled "Alicia's BIG Catch" - this was my first-ever fondant project and it was a LOT of fun! I used mini-marshmallow fondant after trying and not liking the traditional recipie.
I made this for my stepson's 29th birthday in March 2007. I used a patterned VIVA paper towel for the crusted-buttercream method (from this site) to obtain the smooth look. The beer bottle and lettering were in fondant (I was just learning about fondant - this was practice for my project for my stepdaughter's wedding on March 31, 2007 for the groom's cakes). The cake was strawberry.
For my stepdaughter's wedding on March 31, 2007. The display titled "Alicia's Big Catch" had 3 cakes: 1) a fondant-covered FISH (apple cinamon) painted in edible colors and luster dust, 2) a buttercream "camo" cake (strawberry chocolate chip) with a comic bride and groom topper, and 3) a buttercream basketweave fishing creel (chocolate). I hadn't decorated cakes for about 3 years, and it was fun to do this again. This was my 1st fondant project. RIGHT-CLICK Photo and "Open in New Window" for CLOSEUP!
