It was my friend Jenny's birthday recently and I was able to make her cake. She is way into scuba diving so I wanted the cake to have some kind of underwater theme.
I made the starfish from fondant - much easier than I expected - by shaping each arm separately and then joining them in the middle. I used a template of a starfish shape under baking paper so that I could get the proportions right. I piped the hairs on with buttercream using my 'grass' piping tip.
What a fun cake to make! I hope Jenny liked it.
