Finding Nemo cake & cupcakes

When one think of cartoon or animation, Disney would definitely comes to mind. When one say "colourful", I definitely think about Finding Nemo - featuring OZ's very own Great Barrier Reef.

The beginning scene, with the anemone always comes to my mind when I thought of Nemo. So it's the first thing that came to mind when sketching this cake. "How" will I get it to stand up? First I thought of foams - inedible of course - but after some consideration, decides to stick with fondant and skewers.

Sides... Reef scenes are always good inspirations :) *gave me an excuse to pull out the DVD as well in the name of research :P

And what's Nemo without his friends (and dad)... This time, we are doing standard sized cupcakes with 3D figures on top, ala Planet Cake :)

Peach the Starfish & Bloat the Pufferfish

Blossom & Squirt (don't tell the others, but I like squirt the best.. hee hee hee)
