My Nemo Birthday Cake - the details

I must tell you a little bit about my Nemo birthday cake.

It was an amazing creation made by Mommy's former colleague, Auntie Charmaine. ("former" because she gave up being a doctor to be a pastry chef). Auntie Charmaine even remembered Nemo's bum fin on one side. These pictures are taken from her blog website: http://charmainepastry.blogspot.com/.






Chocolate and vanilla cake with vanilla mousseline and strawberries were the flavours. Nemo's rolled fondant "skin" was painted by both airbrush and hand. Auntie Charmaine used 3 different sugaring techniques to create the blue water (sheet of bubbled sugar), green seaweed (pulled sugar) and orange/purple coral (rock sugar).
The cake was delicious. We ate the leftovers for a week. I hope she can keep on making my birthday cakes in the future! Thanks!
