I loved the ideas already on this site for a Toy Story Birthday Cake especially for Andy’s bed and went from there to make it my own. I started with a cardboard base covered in contact paper to look like a wood floor. There are two 9×13 cakes lightly frosted (crumb coat) and covered in white fondant and the corners folded to look like sheets.
The bottom “box spring” layer has wooden dowels cut to size to support the weight of the top layer and fondant quilt. The quilt was laid on next and I used tinted fondant and a toothpick pushed horizontally (and lightly) into the surface for the diamond pattern. A strip of white fondant along the top looks like a folded over sheet.
The pillow was made by wrapping two graham crackers together with fondant and pinching the ends to look like a pillow. The headboard is one graham cracker wrapped in brown tinted fondant. The four bed posts are fondant wrapped pretzel rods with a fondant wrapped Whopper on top. I used a small brush dipped in water to get the fondant to stick to the grahams, pretzels, and Whoppers. I used royal icing to attach the bed posts and headboard to the cake. Next time I will tint the royal icing to blend in a little bit better. I cut out tinted fondant using some alphabet cookie cutters for the name and number.
I attached the figurines using more royal icing and it was ready to go! Enjoy, this was a really fun cake to construct.

I adore this cake! One of my two boys is going to have a Toy Story birthday next year (whether he wants it or not – ha!)! Photo/info is officially saved on my computer! THANK YOU!
I like your ideas for the bedposts and pillow. I can’t really see the headboard in the picture. I need to make a Toy Story cake for my son who’s birthday is in a couple of weeks. Could you share how long this one took you? I was looking for something simple, but creative, and I think I found it!! Thanks for sharing.
It took me about 3-4 hours after the cakes were baked and cooled. I let the fondant harden overnight before adding the figurines the next day.
I have better pictures of the headboard and cake altogether, so if you want to leave your e-mail address I can send them to you.
This cake is amazing could you please send me all the pictures you have of it here is my email address http://www.bigdaddyrob1975@yahoo.com thank you very much!!make sure to include the headboard and foot board thanks again.
I love this cake too!! I also want to see the headboard if you don’t mind. This is great! I was starting to stress out on how to make the toy story cake for my son’s birthday, but now I feel at ease since you make it look so easy! What kind of cake board did you use? Is it wood designed foil? Here’s my email address: kanzevino@zoominterne.net
Thanks!
This looks fantastic and I am going to give it a try for my son’s 4th birthday. Questions: You mentioned that you let the fondant harden over night before adding the characters…how did you store it? Did you have to let the “bed sheet” fondant harden before adding the “quilt” fondant? And I would love to see more pics: kristianshaw@yahoo.com Thanks!!
Could you please send some more photos of this cake to fivefoll@yahoo.com? I’m not sure how to do the box spring layer that you used the dowels for. Could you help me out with that? Did you do the toothpick pattern after the fondant was on the bed or before? This cake is adorable and you were so creative! Thank you.
I love this cake. Can you please send the other photos to me (including the headboard). My address is socrates@cogeco.ca

I love your design and thinking of making one sort of like it. I was wondering did you let the quilt harden over night? And as for the dowels, did you place them on each corner of the cake? Also, can I see a picture with the headboard? Thanks a lot.
I was wondering if you could send your other pics to my email disotellsdesserts@cox.net—I am making a Toy Story cake this weekend for my son and it would help to see the other pics! Great job,looks awesome!
You did a wonderful job! I’d love more pictures too, my email is leannemac@telus.net. Thank you!
Could you please send some more photos of this cake to lgallego50@cox.net I’m not sure how to do the box spring layer that you used the dowels for.

Thanks and hopefully this is helpful. With Toy Story 3 coming out in a couple of months, I’m sure a lot of kids are going to want Toy Story parties and cakes.
I will be making a toy story themed cake for my gluten free grandson and would like to see more pictures of this cake. The headboard and “springs” would be helpful.
Excellent decorating! Hope mine turns out as well.

Hi!
The cake is terrific! I am making it for a co-worker’s son’s birthday in two weeks. Would love any additional pictures and details that you have.
Thanks!
You did such a wonderful job! Can you please send whatever pics and additional help that you can offer. I want to do this for my sons 4th birthday in June and I think I need to do a few practice runs. Thank you so much!!
Thanks for doing this cake! My son’s birthday is in June as well. If you wouldn’t mind sending me more pics of the cake too that would be great! I know you’ve done this for a lot of other people already! I have tried this type of thing before and haven’t been so successful…any extra pointers you have would be awesome!
Your cake is beautiful and I’m hoping to replicate it for my son’s birthday next month. Can you please explain more about the box spring layer? I didn’t realize that the weight of the fondant would require the “mattress” to be reinforced. Also, this will be my first attempt at a cake more complicated than buttercream icing piping. Do you think it’s too advanced for a beginner?
Thank you!
Just a reminder that I need your e-mail if you want extra pictures. You can leave it on this comment section on Coolest Cakes or you can e-mail me directly or you can go to my blog that has additional pictures on it.

Hey! This cake is amazing! My favorite on the site. I would love to attempt this for my son’s 2nd birthday. If you don’t mind, could you send me more pictures from different angles, and explain the “box spring” a little more? Thank you so much!!
How did you make the fondant? or if you bought it what brand do you use?
Thanks!

I would love to help everyone who is interested in making this cake! PLEASE ask your questions in the comments section so I can answer your questions.
Hello, I wrote a comment on the 20th and thought that I entered my email address, but it didn’t show up on the comment page for some reason? I love your Toy Story cake and would love to attempt to make one like it. Please send more pictures and specific directions. Thanks so much for your time and for sharing.
Sorry everyone who is leaving comments on here. I have tried several times to post my blog address which has additional pictures of the cake along with my e-mail address and whoever posts these comments is editing them so you can’t see the information. My last post was edited very heavily. I am not profiting monetarily from you going to my blog, it just has the space for more pictures. The best thing to do is to e-mail me directly (email listed above) and I will be more than happy to help you out and get you my blog address since this site doesn’t want to post it.
Thanks.
This is really awesome. Can you send me more pictures? Thank you.
this is a fantastic cake! I too would love some more information on how to make it…i have NEVER made a cake before but know my son will love it for his 3rd birthday.
Is Fondant very hard to make? I’m told it is. And are you willing to share your recipe? My grandson will be 5 in two weeks and Im would like to try and make this for him. Thank you for your help.
Hi there, this is an amazing cake. My son is having a Toy Story Party this Sat. for his 3rd birthday and he would love this. Could you send me more pictures and directions please including “spring board?”, how to do bed head and foot. Thanks so much.
I’m getting ready to work on a TS cake for my kids’ joint party this weekend and would love additional pics/directions if you don’t mind sharing!
I love the cake design! My kids birthdays are coming up and we are having a combined party for them with Toy Story as the theme. I would love to make this cake for their party. I too would like to see more pictures of this cake. The headboard and “springs” would be helpful. My email is christin.puyol@yahoo.com. Also, if you have more detailed directions for the “springs” that would be very helpful.
Thank you.
I love your cake. I am going to try to replicate it for my son who is turning 2 in April. Could I get some additional pictures and some more directions on the box spring.
stephaniemac33@yahoo.com
thank you
tngeorg@yahoo.com is my email. I also would like to replicate for my sons 2nd bday. Ive never done fondant. Do i make or buy it? And any other info is great. Thanks so much
When you mentioned a box spring, do you mean you have 3 layers and the bottom one is just a box? I noticed you said you wrapped 2 cakes in white, so I wanted to know if you put a block or something under there… Could you email additional information about the cake? I have a friend who would love for me to build her this cake. Thank you!
