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!
