The cake is victoria sponge, I had to bake the shark head in a Pyrex measuring jug to get a good shape!
I piped with a big swirly nozzle, blue butter cream icing to get waves and ran a bit of dark blue through it for a bit of colour effect. He also wanted there to be blood (why not), so I made up some normal runny icing, made it bright red and dripped it around the icing limbs. I decided to really show it was him being eaten by the shark by giving him the same haircut and a work boot as it's all he wears! Really happy though I think it came out really well! I even added some read icing to the teeth so may them look a little blood-thirsty.
This cake is hilarious. I hope your brother enjoyed it. Very creative!
ReplyDeletethanks! he did....my niece decidedly wanted to only eat the shark!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant cake - we should all ask for the cake we truly want rather than what we think we should ask for!
ReplyDeleteLove the shark's expression, it's like he's thinking "oh ok, if I must...."
:) yep I thought it would make an odd cake but sometimes those are the best ones! My niece took great delight in eating the shark after
