Earliest Cake Photo

This is one of the earlier cakes I did as I started getting more serious about cake decorating. I did some basic ones before this, but this was pretty elaborate for me at the time. I smoothed over the top of the cake by wetting it a bit. When you do that, there is always the risk of it crackign if it moves at all, which it did. Also, if you wet it and you had coloring in the icing, it can streak and do weird things to the color as it gets suspended in the water over the icing. In this case, it added a cool effect that added to the water effect. I didn't do it again, and in this case it worked out rather well. Nemo was done freehand from a picture. Not bad, but not perfect either.
