My 6 year old loves sharks so I wanted to make him a Shark Birthday Cake Idea for his birthday. I started with a 13×8 inch pan and covered with blue butter cream frosting (I used Wilton butter cream recipe). For the shark I used 2 pound cakes and carved the shark, covered it with a thin layer of butter cream frosting then used fondant to cover the shark. I used black gel food coloring to paint the top half of the shark and used some extra fondant to make the shark teeth. I then made the fins out of extra fondant and used tooth pics to hold them in place. I cut slits in the side for gills and added eyes.
For effect I added a little plastic swimmer in front of the shark. My little guy and his friends loved the cake.
