Coolest Tin Tin Birthday Cake

My son wanted a TinTin party ( “Kuifie” in Afrikaans) for his 8th Birthday. I then decided to make the theme of the party “TinTin the journalist”. So I brought in the idea of newspapers, which I then used on the cake for a background, I printed that on rice paper.

In South Africa the “Beeld” is one of our local newspapers. My son also loved the TinTin movie, so that is how I came up with the idea of the movie/film strip. I made the film strip from fondant icing and then printed some of the TinTin book covers as the film strip on rice paper. For the focal point I shaped one of the TinTin’s on the cover in 3D with fondant.

The party packs were made from newspaper bags, which was closed with a pencil, to continue the journalist theme. A journalist card was also attached to each pack, with the child’s name and job description like “photographer” /” journalist” on it. The pack also included a note book for the necessary investigation work, the little journalist would have to dot down, during their investigative games.
