I was given freedom to design what I wanted when asked to create a cake for Andrew's 40th birthday. When I was told he liked fishing, I knew exactly what I would be making!'
After covering the cake board with fondant (something I always do to ensure a beautiful finish), I carved it to look like a wooden planks. Next, I baked and layered a delicious strawberry cake; yellow cake with fresh strawberry slices, Swiss meringue buttercream and strawberry compote. I shaped the cake to look like a chubby trout and covered it in fondant which I coloured silver and green and blue. A special thank you to Merissa of Spring Lake Cake for her inspiring design. I think this might be the yummiest fish ever! Happy birthday, Andrew!
