Fishing Theme Cake

I was asked to make a 60th birthday cake for a work colleague that liked fishing. I did some research and thought id make a little boat with a man fishing in it. I did think about making an actual boat out of cake but need a bit more experience first!

I made the fishing rod myself out of wire and flower paste therefore its not edible. Everything else you can eat!

I moulded the items from sugarpaste a week before to let them harden. The boat was suprisingly easy to make and I was pleased with how the little figure turned out. I tried to add detail to his jacket to make it look realistic. Edible paints were a new thing for me on this project! I cant wait to start using them more to get the effects i want!!!
