Live Fish / Fisherman Cake


Live Fish Cake!

Notice the LIVE FISH in the lake!

As a work in progress:

I added a shirt and rolled-up sleeves.

Next I added his fly-fishing vest. Gotta have that!!

See the live fish! I like how their swimming causes ripples in the water!
(Don't worry...after their field trip, I went back and picked them up,
fed them, and brought them safely back!)
                            See the live fish, above? Pretty cool, huh??!




Their family of five has a fire pit so I made a fire pit and five logs,
with roasting sticks and marshmallows. Every item is edible except the fishing pole and fishing line.

And I TOTALLY love when my cakes
get this type of reaction, below!

 EASY HOLIDAY LOG CAKE
 
I did an Open House at Michael's today and taught how to make this easy holiday log cake by using:
 
(1.) an Entenmann's pound cake from the store,
(2.) icing off the grocery store shelf, and
(3.) some simple decorating techniques taught in the Wilton Decorating Basics class at Michael's.
 
By the way, pictured here is Zoe Gaeta's "friend" (and my little cake decorator helper), Miss Flat Stanley, visiting from the 5th grade class in California!

Today was the first cake class I taught for the Town of   Southampton.
 
The theme was Halloween and the students made a Bride of   Frankenstein cake. Cake basics were taught, with an emphasis on   using the round tip (different sizes). See below!
