This Nemo Birthday Cake Idea was for my son’s first birthday. He loved fish so this was perfect. It was my first attempt and freehand artwork on a cake I did. I was very pleased with the results. I had just gotten a pastry tip set and could not wait to try them out on … Read more
I covered the Nemo cake board with blue coloured fondant which I coloured myself and then placed the cake on top. I used a football shaped cake tin which I hired from the cake shop and filled using 2 cake mixes. I used 500ml of dream whip which was more than enough once whipped, leaving … Read more
I love making cool themed birthday cakes for kids. I found a finding Nemo picture (coloring page) online of Dory and printed a copy. Using a regular 9×13 cake pan I cut out the fish shape and frosted the cake in with the correct colors. The kids loved the cake and I received numerous compliments. … Read more
This was a fun Finding Nemo cake to make. I cut out Nemo and Dory and laid them on the icing. I then traced them with white icing and took off the traced paper and filled them in with the colored frosting. I also used the blue food color spray for the background, a very … Read more
For my daughter’s first Birthday, I wanted to make her a cut-out cake of my own design somewhat, but of something she would recognize, and like. We recently set up a salt-water fish aquarium, and her fish? A clown. She calls him “MO” (her best rendition of “NEMO” we presume). So what better than a … Read more
This cake was a big hit. It was a chocolate cake with a mousse filling. I did enlarge a Finding Nemo Picture I found on the Web and cut the cake according to the Finding Nemo picture for the shape. The icing was all buttercream!
This is my original Nemo cake design. The base is a large sheet cake (13″ x 18″) made of two cake mixes (in this case devils food on one side and yellow on the other for variety.) I completely frosted the bottom cake first with homemade buttercream frosting. The sides are royal blue; the top … Read more
My son was so into Nemo that I made him a huge theme Nemo Party. I made the Finding Nemo cake for him and he was so excited. He didn’t want us to cut the cake, it took a lot of convincing. This was actually my first cake that I made that was a full … Read more
This Finding Nemo cake came out so great thanks to ideas from this site! I made it with an 11×15 inch rectangle for the base then a 10,8,6 inch rounds on top. Instead of tinting an entire batch of frosting blue, I used Wilton’s spray food coloring to do the “all over” blue color. I … Read more
I made this Nemo Cake for my sister-in-law’s son. I always use gel or powder colouring – the colours are more vibrant. The eyes and fins I printed and laminated. Remember to use white margarine (wooden spoon in SA) when making white icing, if you are using a butter based icing.
I only bake once a year: for my son’s birthday (soon to be twice a year when my daughter arrives). Last year I made a cake of the Muppet’s Swedish Chef, this year his favorite character is Nemo. Nothing big as far as preparation: made from a regular chocolate Betty Crocker cake mix (cooled in … Read more
I made this Finding Nemo birthday cake for my friend’s daughters 1st birthday. She printed out a picture of one that had been professionally done with fondant and was going to have it made professionally. So I told her I would give it a try before she spent the money. I think it turned out … Read more
