Answer 4

You could make a domed cake and slice out part of it about 1/4 of the way into a wedge (so it looks like and open mouth) then use red frosting on the opening and blue gray on the outside and on the wedge - reattach the wedge to the larger side of the cake to create a fin and use candy corn to create teeth and Yellow jelly candies for the eyes, You could surround the whole head with blue cello and a small fishing boat with fisher man to make it look as if the shark were a mammoth. Hope this helped - Good Luck!

Answer 5

In bakeries when making an unusual shaped cake, they bake the cake in a sheet pan instead of a round. Then, make a template out of paper or cardboard and cut out the shark shape. Use your imagination for the decorating.

Answer 7

It shouldn't be too hard to cut a shark shape out of a full sheet cake. Lots of images on Google. Have the boy find the one he likes.

Answer 9

You can make a bundt cake and frost it , put blue jello in the middle for water (like a pool) and use cut triangles (from laffy taffy candy) for the shark fins "swimming" in a circle, or you can a toy shark coming up out of the jello.

Here's the original recipe - it was for a Pool Party Cake.... I don't know if the picture will come through, but the cake looked like a pool after decorated with all the candy and such, but I think you can kind of skip all that since you're focusing on the shark thing. You get the idea:

* 1 package (18-1/4 ounces) white cake mix
* 1 package (3 ounces) berry blue gelatin
* 3/4 cup boiling water
* 1/2 cup cold water
* Ice cubes
* 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
* 1/4 cup butter, softened
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* 4 cups confectioners' sugar
* 1 piece red shoestring licorice
* 14 Swedish Fish candies
* 5 Peachie-O's candies
* 5 Necco wafer candies, divided
* 2 Air Head candies
* 8 Runts candies
* 1 lollipop stick
* 2 Now and Later candies
* 1 stick spearmint chewing gum
* 1 Life Savers Gummy
* 98 Smarties candies
* 1 Sour Brite Octopus candy

DIRECTIONS



Grease two 9-in. round baking pans and line with waxed paper; grease and flour the paper. Prepare cake batter according to package directions. Pour into prepared pans. Bake at 350° for 21-26 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
In a small bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Pour cold water into a 2-cup measuring cup; add enough ice cubes to measure 1-1/4 cups. Add to gelatin; stir until slightly thickened. Discard any remaining ice. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until soft-set.
For frosting, in a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla and salt. Beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth and fluffy. Set aside 2 tablespoons frosting for decorating. Place one cake on a glass or plastic board. Frost top of cake with 2/3 cup frosting.
For pool, cut a 5-in. circle (1 in. deep) in the center of second cake (save removed cake for another use). Place over frosted cake. Slowly pour gelatin into circle. Frost top and sides of cake.
For ladder, cut licorice into two 4-in. pieces; gently press 1-1/4 in. apart into frosting, looping top ends for handles. Cut three 1-1/4-in. pieces of licorice for ladder steps; press into frosting. Decorate sides of cake with Swedish Fish and Peachie-O's.
For pool steps, use a small amount of reserved frosting to attach four wafer candies to board. Trim two Air Head candies and bend into chair shapes; with frosting, attach Runts to chairs for legs. For table, attach remaining wafer candy to a lollipop stick; push into cake. Place chairs on cake and board.
For diving board, spread frosting between two Now and Later candies; attach gum to top of candies with frosting. Cut Life Savers Gummy in half; attach to sides of gum. Place on cake.
Arrange Smarties on cake for pool tile. Place a line of Smarties on gelatin to form a buoy rope. Place octopus candy in pool. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until gelatin is set. Yield: 12-16 servings.
