Coolest Penguin Cake

For my son’s 10th birthday I created a Penguin cake, (look under Penguin Cakes) so this year I needed to challenge myself.

His Penguin-themed bedroom, claimed Micahrctica (a conjunction of his name and Antarctica) gave me the inspiration.

For the cake I used a basic out of the box mix, in a spherical cake pan which I bought after seeing an ad for them on TV. After it cooled I iced it with light blue homemade icing.

For the continent I simply printed a map I copied from a web page, and used a toothpick to trace its outline into the ocean blue icing. I filled in the “ice-scape” with plain white icing.

The penguins are simply black jellybeans painted with craft paint. I knew I would be safe with this, as I am the only person in the house who would eat a black jellybean. The candles are plain white with a penguin drawn with an indelible marker.

I used a sandwich bag with the corner cut off as my scripting tool. The Penguinesque M of Micahrctica has become my son’s personal logo.
