My daughter celebrated her 3rd birthday on the 4th of July. Her favorite character is Curious George.

I made this Curious George cake for my son’s first birthday. At first, I wanted to make the cake red, yellow, and blue.

The actual cake itself is just the funfetti mix from Pillsbury (cooked a little under temp guides so that its nice and moist). The icing is homemade almond buttercream, tinted a nice yellow or skin tone wherever needed. The hair is two different kinds of chocolate canned frosting (for color variation).

I made a second batch to use for decorating tinting a bit at a time to use for Georges face, the lettering and the border. For the dark brown portions of George’s fur I went ahead and used some of my leftover chocolate frosting from the inside of the cake. It was the perfect color! … Read more
