Spongebob Cake 1

by Tammy Grady

This Spongebob cake was made from scratch using entirely edible items.

The first step was to bake a simple 9x13" cake according to the directions on the package; this made up the square body.

For the arms and legs, I used yellow crème filled cakes (like Twinkies).

For the Spongebob Squarepants cake legs, I cut a Twinkie in half (shortways) and decorated them with white frosting for the socks and tinted yellow frosting for the top of the legs (Twinkies).

I cut another Twinkie lengthwise to make up the arms. The arms are covered with white frosting tinted yellow, with white frosting for the sleeves.

The shirt portion is plain white frosting and the pants are frosted with chocolate frosting.

The shoes are created by a chocolate cake roll (like a Ho-Ho or Swiss Cake Roll), and the belt is simply four pieces of Hershey’s chocolate.

The eyes, mouth and tie were created with Air Heads fruit candy by getting it soft enough to thin it out and then cut it in the shape I needed.

All other Spongebob cake decorations were drawn on with cake decorating gel.
