After reviewing cakes on here, I mixed and matched ideas for my friend’s fathers’ 97th Birthday Cake Idea. I made 2 cake mixes in a 11x15x2 pan and after it cooled I cut it in half and filled the middle with Wilton white icing. It took about three recipes of it.
With green icing, I painted sugar cones that I had cut in various sizes for trees. I dipped q-tips in melted canned chocolate icing for cat-tails, I also used “grass” from artificial cat-tails and cut it and poked it in the cake as well.
My husband drew the boat for me. The fish are Swedish fish you buy in the store. I made chocolate turtles out of candy molds and realized I didn’t put them on for the picture. I couldn’t find my “grass” tip so I used a big tip and then used a fork for the grass. I think he was really pleased.
I should have proof -read this first ….
It should read that the icing recipe was tripled in order to cover the entire cake and I used Swedish fish that you can purchase at the store and a few more BUT it’s ok .. I put the chocolate turtles in front and behind the Happy Birthday sign and It made the cake look a lot better .
Yes he was very pleased as he loves fishing,
as well as playing aggravation. Only a true friend would have taken the time to make such
a cake. The care and thought that was put
into it proves that.
I saw the cake in person, and I loved it. It was a great idea.
Cool !
