What's the Perfect Dessert for a Seafood-Themed Dinner Club?

[muffetts]

I belong to a dinner club, and this month's theme is "Cuisine from the Sea" - and I get to bring dessert! We didn't think that a shrimp cheesecake :yuck: would work... so, any ideas? I thought of:
Turtle Fudge Skillet Cake
Fish Cakes (cakes shaped like fishies...)

any other thoughts?

Turtle Fudge Skillet Cake is a great idea. Any dessert with "turtle" in the name is good. What about sea foam!

I would make a cake and decorate it with fish shaped candies. My son had some that were kind of like sweet tarts that were shaped like fish. There are also the Swedish fish that are gummy type. Not sure if a cake decorating place would have fish sprinkles, but if you wanted to do sprinkles instead of candies I am sure you could find something with seashells or something Sea related. Perhaps add a touch of PC and make it in the fluted pan or something else PC. Or you could make a batter bowl cake and decorate it like a fish bowl.

How about one of the Trifle recipes but substitute "sponge" cake (angel food) cake for the pound cake

Dessert "sushi" - I've seen these in magazines, etc. They're mock sushi rolls made with fruit leather (fruit roll-ups), sweetened rice and fruit pieces.

Thanks for all of your great ideas guys - I'll keep my eyes out for special sprinkles - off to a cake decorating class tonight, so perhaps they can help too. Might check out their cake pans. Have a great day! :balloon:
