DaVinci – I am not!

So my customer was dead set on a cake in the likeness of a fish. I truly believe that if I had made a cake to look just like a fish, that everyone would be so grossed out, the stupid thing wouldn’t get eaten. So, she agreed on the compromise of a cartoon like fish. This stupid thing had to be hand painted because at the time I did not have an airbrush. It was so aggravating the colors kept streaking and needed 2 coats. Took me forever!! I think that the results came out OK….. but I totally fucked up the little fish that are swimming around the big fish. I can’t believe that I had cut them out to swim in the wrong direction! Well, I am naturally blond so what intelligence I have is artificial.

But anyways Husband got me an airbrush system for X-mas so hopefully that will save me some time in the future…. and I am sure it will look a lot better than my feeble paint brush.
