Chocolate Swim Cake

The instructions on this one were a little vague. It was listed as chocolate/chocolate. I had to assume that meant a chocolate cake with chocolate icing. That severely limits your color options. I decided to go with a sort of silhouette contrast effect. I though it turned out ok.

   

As I mentioned, it was chocolate on chocolate with white buttercream decoration. All four sides and the bottom edge of the top surface were covered with various types of underwater plants and bubbles. You can get the idea of what the other sides looked like from the view above. The name was also made out of small bubbles. The dolphin, sand dollar and seahorse are cut out of fondant.
