Sitka Salmon

It is that time of year again!  The salmon are swimming up stream to spawn and then.....well you know ;(
Many people here LOVE salmon so why not celebrate with a few!

This salmon lover birthday cake is a 6 inch round with three layers.  The cake is a buttery vanilla and the birthday girl requested luscious lemon and coconut filling.  I crumb coated with lemon butter cream and finished the cake with my signature butter and cream fondant.  I used food coloring to paint the water ripples and I used color dusts to create the salmon on fondant cut outs.  The salmon are shiny silver with the help of silver hi-light dust.  The seaweed is had cut and textured from fondant and the sand is brown sugar. 

Swim salmon swim!  After all the rain we have had recently the creeks are full for the fish to make their final journey!

This cake is just as spicy on the inside!  A moist aromatic spice cake takes center stage for this creation.  I torted it with my signature butter cream and I infused a hint of caramel for the perfect balance of flavors.  Vanilla cream fondant gives this cake a sophisticated finish and creates the perfect palette for the finishing touches.

The zebra stripes are hand cut from tinted fondant. The bow is formed from homemade gum paste.  I cut and sculpt each loop and let them dry to a rigid texture.  I then use tinted white chocolate to glue the loops together.  Finally, the ribbon streamers are put into place to create a realistic effect. 

Here is the diva-licious beauty:

Dense buttery cake and cookies & cream filling will make you want another slice of this super hero cake!  Captain America's iconic shield is the main attraction of this work of art.  It is hand sculpted from two layers of cake and then covered in homemade fondant. The shield sits high up on an 8" round four layered cake.  I used homemade gum paste and fondant to create the artwork that adorns the base cake.
