Description
A fun and whimsical cake that resembles a fish bowl, perfect for any aquatic-themed party.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 round cakes (any flavor)
- 1 batch of buttercream frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 clear acrylic bowl (serving bowl)
- Blue gelatin (for ‘water’)
- Gummy fish or sea creatures (for decoration)
- Crushed graham crackers (for ‘sand’)
- Food coloring (optional, for frosting)
- Edible glitter or shimmer (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven and prepare the cake batter according to the recipe you choose.
- Grease and flour your cake pans before pouring the batter.
- Bake until golden brown, then let the cakes cool completely.
- If making homemade frosting, beat together softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a splash of milk until fluffy. If desired, add food coloring to create a blue hue for the ‘water.’
- Place one cooled cake layer in the bottom of the clear bowl.
- Spread a thick layer of buttercream frosting on top of the first cake layer.
- Add the second cake layer on top of the frosting.
- Prepare blue gelatin according to package instructions and let it set slightly until it’s thick but pourable.
- Carefully pour the gelatin into the bowl around the cake layers to represent water.
- Sprinkle crushed graham crackers around the edge of the bowl for ‘sand.’
- Add gummy fish and sea creatures onto the gelatin surface.
- Optionally, sprinkle edible glitter for a magical touch.
