a spongey cake of sorts

HAPPY SECOND BIRTHDAY to my SWEET LITTLE MAN, HARRISON!

i love my little dude and can hardly believe he's only 2! Seems he's always been with us :)

spongebob and thomas are his guys!

i used marzipan here to create the features and tie, and if you're interested : ) to make the brown color for bob's pants it is :

1 blue to 2 red to 3 yellow :)

Harrison turned one! and we celebrated Sodor style : )

My baby boy turned one already! My, the year went sooooo fast!!! I'm proud of my handsome, sweet, smart little man :) He is adorable; but of course I'm supposed to think that- but it's true anyway- lol!
Well, I'm dont think my attempt at a Thomas the Tank Engine cake was as good as the Wubbzy cake.... while that was my first attempt at icing a cake, this was my second try at using an icing bag and tips. I learned it takes finess and practice (and probably more time than i could afford : P ). Also, again, I was reminded if i'm going to ice raw,cut cake chocolate isn't the best choice because crumblys show : )
Okaaaaay, i'll quit critiquing myself : P Party guests were kind in their compliments and it tasted Yummy!!!!

I was in the way of dinner making so my pictures arent the best : P also i didnt have much time the next morning before the celebration to take pictures with natural light like i wouldve liked : )

i do like making special cakes : ) maybe by the time i'm a grandma they will be fabulous, lol! i hope!

kooky cake

My baby girl turned 2yrs old yesterday! And she loves the show Wow Wow Wubbzy : ) He is ultra cute, I have to admit : D Last year she loved Yo Gabba Gabba, and I'm already curious what it will be next year : ) . . . I made this cake for my special girl's special day. It was a lot easier than I was anticipating. This is the first time I've ever iced a cake and only my 2nd cake ever!!! : ) So if I can do it, anyone can!

I used a 13x9 inch pan for the cake and made the limbs and tail out of rice krispy treats. http://www.wubbzy.com/ has a printable template you could use of a Wubbzy with a curly tail. It is just cake but I thought it was too small and wasted too much cake so I drew my own templates.

To make the krispy parts I laid wax paper over the templates, and wearing gloves sprayed with cooking oil, I shaped the cereal. The limbs sat over night to be stiffer and I used wooden skewers broken into a couple inches (watch for splinters!) to attach them to the cake that was cut for the ears : )

The face I did freehand, and because I couldn't find black or even chocolate decorating icing I mixed blue, green, and red and used a butter knife : P

Katie, my daughter, is so sweet she even liked her cake : ) We had cake and then opened presents and after that she wanted to see "Wubbzy" again. It made this Momma's day : D

If you'd like to make this, here are the templates I used.

unfortunately, when I saved and printed it from here it was a little smaller than it is supposed to be Wubbzy's body is supposed to be 9inches wide. But they are still here for you : )
