Coolest Nemo Cake

Making this Nemo cake was so much fun. They do not sell a Nemo cake pan that looks like Nemo.

I went to Google images and typed in Nemo. There I was able to see several images of the fish. I picked the biggest image I could find, printed the photo on my printer. I tried to enlarge the image to fit my 9 X 13 cake pan, but it just wouldn’t do. I ended up just having to eyeball it freehand.

I used just a regular white cake box mix. After it cooled I turned it upside down on a covered board of aluminum foil. I did have to add an extra piece of left over cake to add to the tail to make it longer. I find the frosting does wonders when it comes to the detailing of the shapes of the fins and tail. I just used the regular recipe for butter cream decorating frosting (butter, crisco, and powdered sugar and a pinch of milk).

Making the orange color was just mixing red and yellow food coloring till I got the perfect orange color. I used a decorator tube for the black lines. I spread the frosting on with a knife that I dip in hot water constantly to spread more evenly. I used a 4″ paintbrush dipped in hot water just to soften the bristles then pat dry. This was used to brush the fins.

One of the best creations I’ve made and it was extra special for my grandaughters 2nd birthday.
