Gone fishin'

This cake was so much fun to make!!!
Everything on this cake was edible including all the little lures, tackleboxes, etc. I printed out a picture of my fish since I had no idea what a rainbow trout was supposed to look like. The only fish I usually deal with comes from a can :) 
There's a close up of the lures and bobbers.
This cake took about 7-8 hours to complete. The tacklebox, lid, and fish were all chocolate cake covered in chocolate ganache and then fondant. It had to make the trip from Texas to Colorado for the birthday party.
Mr. fish was carved out of chocolate cake.....
Then he was covered in fondant....fins were added.
Then I made some creepy little gills...
After that he was hand painted.
All in all a pretty cool cake.
