Finding Nemo Birthday Cake

Making this cake was actually fairly easy. Just a few simple steps:

1. Paint a backdrop on a piece of cardboard, or cover a piece of cardboard with tinfoil and decorate it with aquarium decorations from your local dollar store.
2. Bake your cake in a round cake pan. Let cool.
3. Trim the round cake into a foot ball shape.
4. When icing the cake, use a crumb coating. Any time you cut a cake, it will be harder to frost, so a crumb coating will help to make the crumbs less noticeable. 
5. To make the 3D effect, 'paint' your fins on your backdrop with icing.
6. For the eye, use a marshmellow and a drop of icing.

Get ready to knock the socks off of your little Nemo fan!
