It looks so real, great job!

Awsome job! What type of cake did you use and also what did you make the fins out of? Thank you.

The cake was a vanilla and chocolate marble, the filling is buttercream recipie from this site, I baked it cooled it and then froze so I could carve it easily. The fins are made out of the fondant which I did about a week in advance so they would drive propery.

That's a freakin' awesome cake!

Question... how did you paint it??? Do you have an airbrush machine or did you do it by hand? What type of food coloring did you use? Thanks for any info!

Thank you... I do not have the luxury of an airbrush machine so yes, I painted it by hand. I used the Wilton gel colors and vodka. I applied colors in layers and let dry completely so as not to soften my previously made fondant fins. I'm gonna give Americolor a try as I have heard this is a much better food coloring and my husband promises me an airbrush machine in my future!
