I made this Spongebob cake from a regular rectangle cake pan. First, I cut a piece of paper the same size as the cake and used it as a template to figure out how to cut the cake to make the legs and arms.
I cut off approximately 2 inches from the bottom and used each piece to make the legs. I cut off about 2 inches from each of these piece, turned it sideways, and that was his feet. For his body, he is really more of a square than a rectangle and he angles in at the bottom, so I cut off a triangular piece on each side and used this for his arms.
I covered the entire cake with the star tip using buttercream icing. You can ice him ahead of time, but I would wait until that day to do the final detail – the black icing may bleed on the white. I added the plastic googly eyes as well. TIPS: Make sure you put a dot of icing under his legs and arms to anchor them to the cardboard.
You also need to try to ice the inside of the legs before anchoring them down; otherwise, it will be very difficult to ice the insides of his legs because they are so close together.
My little boy would love that cake. Two thumbs up!
MY GREAT NEPHEW BRYSON IS WHO THE CAKE WAS FOR AND HE LOVED IT! HIS MOM HEATHER, ALSO MADE SPONGEBOB RICE KRISPY TREATS THAT WERE AS CUTE AS COULD BE.
