My First Cartoon Character Cake -- Spongebob

Sarah Ilyana , my second niece, turned ten in January but I could only give her her cake in Feb. After discussing with her mother, it was agreed that I would TRY and make a Spongebob cake. As always, reality always hit me after I agree to something... this time, I went "YIKES..... I dont even like that cartoon...and I have NEVER made a cartoon character cake out of fondant before...

But make the cake I must, especially after I have given her sister, Farah, those fantastic minicakes (thanks, Adlina again).. and so I tried. But first, my husband helped me by cutting the cake to size. I just needed to cover it in fondant in the appropriate colours and design.

Surprisingly, as I figured my way around the cake, I got more and more excited.. especially as I put the face together... the character seemed to jump out and say 'HI, its me.. Spongebob'. Actually got nods of approvals from the men and boys in the family.... my husband, my sons and newly adopted employee-turned-son.

The rewards came in Sarah's expressions... she went 'Eeeeeeee....' and shook her head. That's her typical reaction to great happiness... trust me... the feeling was ''WOW'' for me..
