Decorating your Shark Cake
Grey or yellow?
Grey is the realistic, classic shark. Yellow is bright, fun and less scary for little ones.
The ocean
Blue icing waves on the board and a few gummy fish make the sea.
Here are the colours this one calls for. Add them while you're here.

Shark Cake FAQs
How do I get shark grey icing?
Add a drop or two of black colouring to white icing, a little at a time, until you get a soft shark grey. Going yellow? A few drops of yellow does it. You only need the one Dome tin.
Where's the template?
It's free to download from the template card on this page.
How many does the shark cake serve?
About 24 serves from two packet mixes (based on 12 serves per packet mix, depending on how generous your slices are).
Are the teeth edible?
Yes, the toothy mouth, eyes and gills are edible paper. The fins and tail are paper cut outs, so lift them off before cutting.
Is it scary for toddlers?
Choose the yellow shark for a friendlier look.
