Spongebob Cake

So for my Aiden's birthday (big #5!) I decided to make him a spongebob cake. I will post the links to the fondant recipe below. For now, here are some shots..

This cake was actually quite simple to make. It was VERY time consuming though. I started by baking two 9x11 cakes. I used a wilton cake pan to make sure it was nice and flat. (Look at the difference in the bake pans and you will see what I mean!) I then rolled the white fondant out and kneeded some yellow dye into it. Make sure you grease your countertops very well to avoid sticking! Once it was nice and yellow i rolled it flat and layed it on the (frosted) cakes. The rest was just details. Made some brown fondant, then red then blue...I used cookie cutters and random shapes in my kitchen to cut out the details on his face. To get the fondant to stay put you can grab a brush and wet the surface you want to stick. It will make the fondant sticky.

Ingredients:

*Two 9x11 cakes (any flavor)
*Cake board
*Frosting
*Food coloring (yellow, brown, red, l.blue, black)
*White fondant (my recipe)
*Rolling pin
*Powdered sugar (to keep the fondant from getting sticky)
*Food safe gloves (if you don't want food dye on your hands)
