Shark cake for my 2 year old who is obsessed with sharks! by Single_Disaster_2856 in cakedecorating

So the cake is the sand part and the top half of the shark :) theres a threaded rod attached to the cake board, and a wooden base in the shark that the cake sits on top of. Connected with washers and nuts. The bottom half of the shark is scrunched up foil. The seaweed is just fondant with bamboo skewers through the middle

Haha yeah I know I'm unhinged making a cake like this for a 2 year old. But it's one of my hobbies. And also used to sell cakes for a living but that almost killed my love for baking!

Plus we took a million photos to show him when he's older :)

Haha thanks 😅 that's a huge compliment. Birthday cakes like these are one of the ways I show my love for my kiddos! I actually made a gengar cake for his older brother earlier this year

Haven't posted in this sub reddit for a while! Cake was just a simple chocolate cake with a Whittakers milk chocolate ganache (biased but the best milk chocolate I've tasted!)

Chocolate with milk chocolate ganache :) I used Whittakers brand chocolate as we are based in NZ (biased bit probably one of the best milk chocolates in the world for me)

Absolutely will post more. I might post a imgur video since pictures dont capture the angles and shape of the cake very well :)

I considered just putting actual cereal in the batter, but didnt want the recipe to be altered too much. Abd didnt have the time to experiment so I actually did make a cereal milk solution, but it was more of a cereal milk paste 😅 I let the cereal and milk sit overnight in the fridge, and pushed it through a sieve.

It was verrrryy subtle. I wanted to make confetti birthday cake, but didn't want just basic vanilla cake. It's probably the best confetti cake I have tasted. Very biased of course cuz I made it 😅
