Coolest Blues Clues Birthday Cake 57

Homemade Blues Clues Birthday Cake
I've made plenty of birthday cakes for my kids before, but this Blues Clues Birthday Cake was the first time I had decided to go "all out" and try working with fondant. Because I had never used it before, I decided to just make Blue the dog out of the fondant, and to use buttercream icing on the rest of the cake. I baked a white 1/4 sheet cake, then iced it in white buttercream.
I used store bought fondant, and colored it with Sky Blue for Blue's body, and Royal Blue for her spots. I bought the edible eyes at a cake decor shop, and colored a small amount of the buttercream with Royal Blue for the nose and pawprint. I used a template I found online for the body and spots, and piped the darker blue details with a #2 round tip.
After I had placed the finished blue on the cake, I added the other decorations with Royal Blue colored buttercream, and used a candle set I found at a local party store.
