I made this Veggie Tales cake for my daughter’s 3rd birthday. Bob is made from a Wilton ball pan, while Larry is made from Rice Krispie treats. I first tried making the treats from scratch to save money, but found that the bought treats held together better. Both are covered and decorated with fondant, which I colored in order to get just the right color.
I anchored Bob and Larry together with skewers. Larry looks like he is tipping over, but that is the look I wanted since most pictures show him angled around Bob. I wrapped Larry in the fondant, which left the top of him with fondant folds. By placing the ice cream cone on top and decorating it to look like a birthday hat, I was able to conceal this flaw.
I then made cupcakes so that I would have somewhere to place the candles and spell out Happy Birthday and my daughter’s name.
I love it! I am currently trying to figure out my Daughter’s Veggie Themed Party and get the right cake! This is amazing work! Thanks for the inspiration.
This is amazing! I’m planning on conquering this for my son’s first birthday party. He’ll sit and watch the veggies for hours if we’d let him. Pretty good work!
So cute. I am going to try to make this for my two year old son’s birthday. Whenever he Watches Veggie Tales he falls into what I like to call “the veggie trance” he is hooked. Thanks for sharing your creativity so I can surprise my little one!
