The christening cake for my third grandchild had to be different. His dad is very keen on fishing and therefor this unusual christening cake.Although still very small the little man was very impressed with the little fisherman on top of his cake.
This was really a fun cake to make. My daughter (Mrs L as known from her blog The Linen Cupboard) designed the cake. "Ma" had to do the work!
The cake was covered with plastic icing with a marble effect. The three cakes placed on top of each other. The fish, seaweed, etc on the sides were made from sugar paste or gum paste.
The little fisherman was also made from gumpaste using a mould to make little people.
More info can be found on the website above. I am planning to post directions for making little people.
After making the body with the moulds the body was put together and dressed by cutting clothes from gumpaste. The log, rocks and little frogs were also made from gumpaste.
Regards till next time!
