I got the idea of the dolphins jumping out of the water cake from this website. A friend of mine loves dolphins and asked for me to bake her some dolphin cookies. I decided to try to make her a cake that she would never forget.
The dolphin cake was a plain white cake from scratch and so was the frosting. I colored the frosting blue and left some of it white for the waves. The dolphins were made out of rice crispies and cut out with cookie cutters. When the rice crispies cooled I shaped them a little more. I then covered the dolphins in melted white chocolate. I needed to add color to the dolphins and so I used shimmer dust and all I had on hand was pink and so pink dolphins it was going to be.
When the chocolate hardened I then dusted on the shimmer dust and added the eyes and mouth with icing. I frosted the cake and thin put the dolphins on the cake using floral wire to make the dolphin look like they were jumping out of the cake. For the wave I filled a piping bag with both blue and white frosting and piped it around the dolphins. On the floral wire the I need to cover I just put blue frosting on top of the wire.
My friend loved it and wouldn’t let anyone touch it. Next time I am hoping to make the cake look a little cleaner. I seem to keep finding flaws on it. But not bad for a first try. Maybe I need to take cake decorating classes.
how did you make the dolphins with the rice krispies?
It looks wonderfull
I think it looks great. And what a GREAT idea using rice cripies treats. I am in the process of doing a dolphin cake now, and I stole this idea. However, I molded the dolphins by hand instead of a cookie cutter since I couldn’t find one the right shape. Wish me luck as I’m finishing it tomorrow!!
