Homemade Handy Manny Toolbox Cake

My son requested a Handy Manny Toolbox cake for his latest birthday and so I attempted it.

I made two 11x15 cakes, cut them in half and stacked three of the halves to make the rectangle box. I then iced the three layers together with buttercream icing. The handle was made out of rice krispie squares (which were also iced in the buttercream and were not easy to do!) and a red plastic pipe.

My son had received the Manny and tool figurines at Christmas, so I used them on the top of the cake.

This was definitely one of the easier character cakes I have created.

Cake Toppers

I think you can get the toppers at Walmart/Target and I saw them on eBay. I am making the cake on Wed, I will let you know how it goes. I am having a hard time finding a red pipe. I found a white one but I really don't want to paint it. Does anyone have any ideas?

I desperately needed inspiration for my daughter's 3rd birthday party tomorrow and I found this and emulated it.

I couldn't find any tubing though so cellotaped a couple of chopsticks together and then rolled that in red royal icing.

It is a great idea because then they have the characters to play with after (if like me you bought them for the cake)

Red Icining

I am making this cake for my 3 year old son's birthday party. I am having a hard time getting the icing red enough. Any one have any suggestions?

americolor red icing--hands down, best red.

pipe

you can wrap a white pipe with pen candy string may need icing to hold them on the pipe. Also may want to put it in the freezer, for as long as possible, to set.
