Homemade Bathtub Birthday Cake

I made this Bathtub Birthday Cake for my daughter’s first birthday. She just loves her rubber duckie. This cake was made from two 9x13 cakes made from box mixes.

When both cakes were cooled, I positioned one cake on my serving tray and frosted the outside two inches all around the top of the cake. Then I put the other cake on top of it and cut out the middle of the top cake (leaving about 2 inches around the outsides). I iced the cake all over with a buttercream frosting.

The ‘water’ inside is blue jell-o, made according to the package directions and then scooped in just before my guests arrived. The faucets are big marshmallows with 4 mini marshmallows attached via toothpicks and the design was smoothed over with a little icing. The ‘H’ and ‘C’ were computer printed on paper and then attached to the marshmallows with a little icing.

The spigot is a slice cut out of a large marshmallow and attached with icing. This cake took a while to frost, but was otherwise very easy to make and it was a big hit with my guests.
