Need a super fast, super cute, and super easy 3D fish cake? With just some simple carving using one layer of cake, fondant and a few airbrush colors, you will be able to create this whimsical cake in just a few hours. Sharon will take you through every single step from start to finish.

Supplies:

  • drum or base board  (22 in)
  • one layer of cake, not leveled (13 in)
  • fondant: white, yellow, blue, black
  • veining tool
  • toothpicks
  • carving knife
  • ruler
  • white buttercream
  • blue buttercream
  • pizza cutter
  • clay gun
  • cornstarch
  • spatula
  • sterile water in spray bottle

Segment Timecodes:

  • Carving cake 00:40
  • Crumbcoat 13:45
  • Applying fondant 19:21
  • Eyes and scales 24:10

  • Sometimes tylose added to fondant items will soften when touching buttercream. If time is short and not enough time to fully dry the grass, leave out the tylose.
