Coolest First Birthday Ocean Cake 45

Homemade First Birthday Ocean Cake
This homemade first birthday ocean cake was made for my friends son's first birthday. The theme was "under the sea". I made a 12x18x2 inch sheet cake. Half of it was a dark chocolate mix and half was a Golden Butter flavor. The frosting was homemade buttercream tinted Royal Blue with a bit of Cornflower blue color gels. I piped a shell border with #21 start tip.
The sea shells and sea creatures were made with chocolate molds and mostly white chocolate melts, and a few dark chocolate too. The white melts were colored with Candy color gels. The sandy bottom of the cake was a peanut brittle crunch candy topping purchased at a cake supply store.
The seaweed was apple fruit strings. I used dark blue sugar to add depth to the bottom of the ocean. I did borrow some ideas from other cakes I've seen online.
