Fishing or Napping? Birthday Cake
The Fishing Birthday Cake was for my husband's 65th birthday and I decided to depict two of his most favorite activities, fishing and napping.
The bottom layer is his favorite spice/pumpkin cake with cream cheese filling, the cake was crumb coated with cream cheese icing then covered with marshmallow fondant tinted blue. I then tinted some piping gel for the water, added some plastic grass that I had trimmed to look like cat tails and tules.
The boat and motor is chocolate cake sculpted to look like a boat, the cake was baked in a 9X9 pan and cut diagonally (the motor was made from a cut off corner). The boat and motor were covered in fondant and set in the "water". The man, tackle box behind his head and the fish are made from fondant and gumpaste. The only things not edible on this cake was the grass and the fishing pole.
Everyone really enjoyed it and many people thought the fondant man looked like my husband!
