Shark Cake 14

Great White Shark Cake
This shark cake I made for son's 7th birthday party.He loves sharks and has read an awful lot about them.
The cake has been carved out of two 13x9 rectangular home made chocolate cakes, layered one on top of the other using butter cream icing as glue.
I carved the cake using a small kitchen knife and some common - sense .
Then I mounted him on a rectangular shaped foam board (covered with Aluminum foil.)
Then I covered him with butter cream icing and one thin layer of MMF fondant, then sprayed blue color mist on him. I used one of my kitchen brushes to paint his black blue.
I did not use any grey coloring at all since I don't think grey has any appeal to the human taste bud. I decorated the ocean floor using cookie crumbs, Swedish fish, Gold fish, and gummy-based clown fish. The green algae and shells are made out of fondant. I spent 2 days on it! But it was fun and quite a great learning experience.
It was the first carved/iced and decorated cake I ever made!
I also made a Shark and Rainbow fish Pinata for the party.
