Finding Nemo Cake

This Nemo cake was for my son’s 2nd birthday. My son loves Nemo, so my sister and I decide to make this Nemo cake for him. We decorated the top of the cake with blue and green color mist food spray to give the cake an aqua look and used blue sparkle gel to write a message. We also made blue sea grass with tip#233.

I made Nemo out of one batch of rice krispies treats. I molded the whole body as one except for the two fins. The fins I molded separate and inserted 2” lollipop sticks into Nemo and the fins. I let Nemo set out on the counter for a couple of days so that the rice krispies would dry and be hard. I then drew on Nemo so that we had a guide to help us as we piped on the different colors.

The frosting on Nemo was the ready to use Wilton’s White Decorator Icing; we used icing colors black and orange. We piped in black using tip#3 and filled in the white and orange with tip#16. The eyes (Cindy) use tip#12 and with a spatula and a little water to form and smooth the eyes.

This cake was lots of fun to make. Thanks Cindy for your help!
