Hi everyone!

I'm going to try translating in english a tutorial I have already posted in the spanish forum: a pink fish!
And why is it pink? Because that was the only MMF color I had .


First I made a rectangular cake and then I cut it to the shape of a fish.

Then I covered the whole cake with a crusting buttercream.






I put it on the refrigerator for some minutes till it crusted a little.
And then I used a paint roller to smoth it (I learn this here on CC but I lost the link)





I covered it with MMF





Shaped it





I made the tail and fins







Finally I shaded it with pearl dust to give it the final touch, and here you can see how it looked

I made it for the woman to whom I buy fish because I wanted to give her something special.
I was very happy because I could she how touched she was...


I hope you like it, and thanks for watching

It's lovely. Thank you for the tutorial.

Wow. That is amazing. How did you make all the scales? Using an icing tip to make the indentions?

A wonderful cake & thanks so much for the tutorial.

very nice thank you for showing us ... te quedo bello gracias voy aver si me atrevo hacer uno

What a great idea. I just have to figure out an excuse to make a fish now... LOL

How did you do the fins and tail?

Thank you so much, you explained in such a way that it looks doable for those of us who are still learning - now if I can just figure out how to save this! And even if I can't, I will at least be able to find it through my forum posts.

This is so cute!

Wow, what a pretty fish cake! Thank you so much for the tutorial

Awesome!! Thank you!!!

You know it's funny, my three year old neighbor is fascinated with the fish tank we have ("Can I say hi to the fishys??") and his little brother always asks me "did you make me a cake?" (EVERYTIME he sees me!) This tutorial comes in sooooo handy -- make a cake to look like a fish!!

Thank you for that tutorial.

Thanks again to all of you!

Just saw this post. Thank you. It looks like fun.

For those who like pictorials and still haven't seen my other ones, I made a list of links.
If you'd care to see them, you can take a peek here:

Thank you so much!  I think I'll try to make a fish cake.
