Aren't you clever! I hope the birthday honorees love it!

Wow. You did a phenomenal job! That fish looks amazing. How many boxes of Rice Krispies did it take?

That’s a gorgeous fish and a fun cake, well done! and happy birthdays

That is amazing, great job! A work of art.

I can’t even imagine being able to do that!

Thank you for sharing. :)

That's awesome! The detail on the fish is very impressive. Do you do other types of art?

Very cool fish and a great idea to mold it from rice krispies treats!

Wow!!!! You are amazingly talented. I'm glad you shared, because ...who knew? Absolutely beautiful and I'm sure they will each be delighted. So beautifully executed.

Sich a fun cake! Great job!

Hang on!! You made that? I am impressed. I would think the kids would love that. How special for them.

Impressive!

Cake looks amazing!

I started making cakes when my grandson was born - I'm surprised that my daughter was fine with letting me make his first birthday cake + smash cake!

I made him a dinosaur themed cake for his last birthday - luckily, he was turning four. I just made a few "cute" fondant dinosaurs after watching some YouTube videos.

I need to start making A LOT of practice cakes if I'm going to be able to make realistic painted animals for his cake by the time he's 10! Your GD and DS are going to love their shared cake!

That’s amazing! How clever to mold rice krispy for the fish. Enjoy the celebration!

That’s extraordinary!!! I love that you have a Caroline 😊. I used to make cakes in shapes a train , a ghost , a clown. Haven’t done one in decades. You are awesome. Caroline ( Houzz keeps messing up my sign in)

Love the way the fish rises out of the cake. Brava

How cool and fun! You did great with the fish!

Amazing! Are the cattails edible?

Thats a beautiful piece of art. sweet and meaningful. congrats and big thanks! westy

You are so clever and artistic! What a great cake!

THAT is AMAZING!!!! I'm so glad you explained what the fish is made out of and the rocks. I would never have dreamed that up! Rice Krispies and chocolate candy....WOW!!!!!

Thanks. My grandkids and their parents arrived at our northwoods abode this afternoon. I had the cake covered up with a Do Not Touch sign on it. The were curious about it but didnt touch it. The kids were in the water within 5 minutes of getting here. My son-in-law is getting there fishing poles ready to go.

As far as the fish cake goes I had seen the idea somewhere on the internet lastfall. I think it was made on a 9x13 cake. I used a 12x18 pan. I baked the cake 2 weeks proir to when I assembled it. I wrapped the cake in plastic wrap and the foil and put it in the freezer. I took it out of the freezer the night before needing it and thawed it the refigerator. I made the buttercream frosting a week ahead and stored it in the refrigerator. I also made the fondant fins ahead of time so they would be dry when I needed them.

I used a 12 ounce box of rice crispy cereal mixed with a 10oz. bag of melted mini marshmallows to make the head and the tail end. I did not use any butter in the rice crispy mix. You need to grease your hands with cooking spray before molding the fish.

The cat tails on the cake are not edible but I assume you could make them out of fondant.

It's almost time for the reveal.

deegw, I don't really have any other artistic abilities. I used to sew and do some crocheting but that was quite awhile ago.

What a marvelous cake! The colors are beautiful and it is so well executed, if is very professional. Thank you for sharing it. Those lucky birthday recipients!!

Love the cake! I'm so impressed with the ingenuity in the design and the objects you used in the process. Lots of time and love involved! Every kid should have such a grandma!

Sweet pictures. :)

Glad the day went well!

What a great cake, and a successful day of fishing too. You are so talented!

Love this! So fun. 🎣

That is fabulous!!

Can you share more photos of your creations! This is great!

Wow! Very creative! Yes, would love to see more of your cakes.

Great job! Adorable kids. Is that a bass you are holding?

petalique, that is a bass but it is mu daughter that is holding it. I wish I was still that young.

The next day my daughter caught this Northern

pudgeder and bluebell, you might be sorry that you asked me to post pictures of some of my other cakes. I’ve been making them now for family members for 13 years. I believe I have posted some in the past but I will look through my birthday cake folder in a little while and try to refrain from posting all of them.

Dog wants to sniff fish, make friends.

My first cake was my first GD’s ”1 in a melon” smash cake

along with cupcakes

This was for my second GD’s Puppy Pawty at age 2

Along with these cupcakes

This one looked great until it started collapsing under the weight of all those flowers. It had 7 one inch layers. I later learned about using dowels.

This ”Donut Grow Up” cake was simple to decorate but cute

This ”My Little Pony” cake was fun to make.

Not sure how many pics I can post at a time so I will bore you with a few more in another post.

I loved how this ”Fun to Bee 1” cake turned out.

And I made bee themed sundresses for my girls

The mermaid tails in this cake were made with candy melts

My middle granddaughter requested a fox cake for her 7th bday so I made this from cupcakes

Had a ”3esta party with this cake

Used a frosting sheet ordered on Etsy for this cake

Had an Alicorn Tea Party. Each child got their own china tea cup and saucer (thanks to a resale store) to take home

I have quite a few more real cakes that I made but the last cake I will show off is a Diaper Cake I made for a niece’s baby shower

I have been teaching my GDs how to use a piping bagd and different decorating tips to decorate cakes for holidays and their parents birthdays. As of now they love doing it, so hopefully they have great core memories and they will carry on with their own families someday
