That is so awesome Kitagrl!! great job .. I'd love to know how you did it!

Thats the best Nemo cake I've seen... You did good.

WOW!! What a cool cake!! It looks great, the fins are perfect!!!

Thanks all! I used the 3D egg pan and then when I leveled the bottom, made it to where the small part slanted down...then put it together and then cut a little away from the front so the body curves in a little. Made the fins the day before but should have started earlier as they are not too sturdy.

What texture of BC did you use and how did you smooth it all out?

Your work is fantastically detailed! Excellent job! Keep posting...they are so great to see!!

I used the regular butter/Crisco recipe and used Viva paper towel to smooth. Thanks!

i love (...)

Great cake!! I bet your son loved it!!

AMAZING!!

He's so cute!

Best Nemo cake I've seen too! great job!

BEATS OUT THE NEMO I DID! GREAT JOB KITAGRL

It looks just like him! I might have to try this....I was just asked to make a Nemo cake for next weekend!

I love this, it's definitely going in my faves!

My grandson would love this! What awsome job, but can you tell me how the fins were made?

They were made using fondant that I let dry, but I didn't let them dry enough, also they were pretty heavy...next time I would try thinner fondant or maybe even gum paste.

Thanks. How much time should I allow myself to make this? I've done a few cakes but nothing this nice, and I've never worked w/ fondant or gum paste. Thanks for answering my questions.

It was just for my own son so it was last minute, the fondant was only made a couple days beforehand. You should give it probably a week for gum paste and maybe that long or a bit longer for fondant. A quicker way might be to draw a pattern on wax paper and pour tinted candy melts/almond bark onto it and onto sucker sticks to help it stay in.

This cake is awesome! It's the best Nemo cake I've seen!!
