Coolest Nemo Cake 86

Homemade Nemo Cake
My son, Caleb, LOVED the movie Finding Nemo when he was a baby. So I decide to make him a Nemo cake. This movie was how I was able to do the dishes, laundry, cook and other everyday tasks!
I made a sheet cake first (1 store bought cake mix) for the ocean and then I mixed up another and poured it evenly between 2 Pampered Chef Batter Bowls (mixing bowls) greased and floured. (DON"T MAKE ALL THREE AT ONCE AS THE MIDDLE DOESN'T COOK ALL THE WAY! Trial and error. Frost the sheet cake blue for the ocean and set aside.
While Nemo's body was baking I tinted melting chocolate and made the outline for the 3 fins on wax paper, let it harden in the fridge, filled in the outline with more chocolate and put it back in the fridge to harden once more.
After the cakes had cooled completely I leveled the top off each and a little off the side (so he would sit flat) and used some frosting to "glue" the head end and tail end together. Gently set "Nemo" on the ocean and carefully frost the orange and white stripes (I used a star tip- Beware it takes some time). Once that was done I used the melted chocolate I had tinted black to define each orange and white stripped section and his smile.
It took me about 3 hours to do this cake. But I was VERY pleased with the way it turned out!
