Ponyo Cake

For two years now, I have participated in the PS 234 annual auction.  A good friend of mine teaches there, and meeting all the parents (it's an elementary school in NY) and making a cake for one generous person is so much fun.  This year I was very lucky, because the parent who won my cake requested a Ponyo cake!  For anyone who has not seen this adorable movie, I suggest you go see it as soon as you can.  Ponyo is a little fish who lives in the ocean and dreams of being a real girl.  It's so magical and I can see why four year old Jade loves it so much.

I decided to show Ponyo running on the waves rising out of the ocean.  In the movie, the waves morph into fish as they rise out of the ocean, and then become regular waves again as they crash back down.

The cake was a delicious dark chocolate with fresh strawberry frosting.  Happy birthday Jade!
