I just did this cake for an ABC news anchor.

I can't say her name but she is listed on the Internet as a "Public Figure."

She was extremely nice and this cake was for her three-year-old son.

She wanted a fun Curious George cake with the main colors in red, blue, and yellow.

See below for the work in progress...

The bottom cake was an 8" "petal" shape.             I covered it in blue fondant.

                      

 

 

I covered the cake base with white fondant

then trimmed with a multi-colored ribbon that incorporated her color choices.

I used an embossed Happy Birthday/balloon mat for the imprinted design.

 

 



 

I stacked the bottom petal shape and the round 6" on the cake base. I used four dowels in the bottom cake and one dowel that ran through the center and down into the cake base.

(I had sharpened the middle dowel into a point.)

 

 

 

 

Now the real fun begins! ...

Putting the candy and fun stuff on!

 

 

Here is the Curious George that I made by hand from gum paste...he is holding a banana and reaching for another one!

And here is the final product,

a fun cake perfect for a three-year-old boy!
