A Rainbow Trout cake for a birthday. In addition to a googled picture of a rainbow trout I turned to two designs I found on Flickr: EB Cakes www.flickr.com/photos/30559561@N07/2863656406/ and the ever amazing Debbie Does Cakes www.flickr.com/photos/debbiedoescakesnet/2150127235/ Now I know mine doesn't hold a candle to either of them, but I did whip out the airbrush and every little bit of practice help, mainly I think I got the carving a bit wrong, and I was a bit heavy handed with the dots. But the client thought it was great so that's all that matters right! :D

I'm impressed - great job! How did you do the scales?

Thanks I did the scales with an impression mat, pressed it up against the cake after covering. I just used a palet knife to score the fins much easier.

I have to tell you, after searching the internet for rainbow trout fish cakes, and stumbling on your picture...I had to become a member of this site just to tell you how incredible this looks. I ws telling the person who wanted me to make this cake that it wouldnt look "pretty" at all (being that it was a fish) but seeing yours makes me think I might willing to try. I am not a big user of fondant, but I'm going to try it, thanks so much for your inspiration..Great job!!
