Two Aquariums with Goldfish (1x mini and 1x medium)

😲😲😲Gabi, dear friend, you did an awesome job!!! I love them. 🥰

What wonderful work dear Gabi @Icingsugarkeks!!! Such creativity by using so many different mediums to create these realistic aquariums. I, too, love animals of all kinds and it's so fun to see you include fish in your work . Such beautiful colors and the lighting behind gives an even more realistic look to your aquariums ❤️. Simply awesome my dear cookie friend ❤️❤️❤️

Oh Thank you so so much my dear Heather!!! 😘❤️😘  @Heather Bruce Sosa

There were questions about the "lighting".

The lighting is actually simple. In the small aquarium is a plastic tealight with switch. So that it shines somewhat forward, I did not make the front wall with the fish (above) up to the ceiling. So the light shines from inside over it. Barely visible by day, but at night it looks good. So that the shine can be seen well, I exposed the camera to the tripod and the picture at ISO 400 for 1/4 s. I just played around a bit, which looked the best.
The large aquarium is also illuminated with plastic tealight, but from the front, so that it shines into the "glass". Is not visible in the picture.

Here are the pictures from the lights in aquariums:

Thanks for the details about the lighting dear Gabi!! You have incredible knowledge about the technical details associated with cookie art @Icingsugarkeks. Love what you've done here my friend ❤️

These are wonderful! I love the idea that you used gelatin sheets for the glass fronts and used a light for the tanks.

This is a fantastic spin on the challenge! Your use of gelatin sheets for the "glass" is terrific. I also found it interesting how you made a cookie frame for the gelatin sheets and then affixed them onto the front of the box, to sort of create a box atop a box! The lighting really pushes this entry over the top. I am wondering if you somehow could have affixed your fish to a translucent gelatin sheet to help the light penetrate better. But I have no idea how much weight those gelatin sheets can support (if any)! Anyway, the overall effect is brilliant. Well done, you!

Thank you so so very much for your words!!!  @Nikki Carriere ❤️😘

Oh Christine, Thank you so very much for your kind words!! I really appreciate this !!

The fish "sticks" to the back wall with the plants. The cookie frame is filled with very strong gelatin to create a depth effect and bubbles. Behind it, I have "stapled" the gelatin sheet for a better grip. It sticks to the cast gelatine slice, so to speak. The cookie gelatin frame I have then attached to the "aquarium" with icing.

This frame is filled with thick gelatin. Unfortunately you can bad see it due to the transparency.  @Bakerloo Station
