My mom and I made him a cake based on Yo Gabba Gabba characters, which he enjoys watching. I think the parents enjoyed the presentation more than he did, however! But he did like his cupcake. And it was good cake. The downside was, unlike last year when we did a Dora the Explorer cake, I had to be careful about frosting intake and eating cake fragments during the making of the cake. The final product came out nicely. The green "fur" is coconut, and the red dots are those terrible tasting cinnamon thingys. The flavor leeched into the frosting and gave it a mild cinnamon taste, which I did not like. It might be better to use either red M&M's or just make frosting blobs with the frosting gun.

And for reference, here is what the characters look like. We got pretty close, considering our medium was cake. Note we gave Brobee a smile, instead of the frown. And made them both a bit squatter, for more cake. There are gaps between Brobee's arms and body, but the coconut obscures that. In the future, we would probably do better to exaggerate the space, so it frosts better.

And just for reference, because I don't think it is on the site anywhere, here is the Dora The Explorer cake from Mary's birthday party last year.
