Spongebob Cake

This Spongebob cake was my son's 3 year birthday cake. It was a blast to make - I just used chocolate cake and buttercream frosting for the main body. For the holes in the sponge, I just used a melon baller to scoop out the cake and then smoothed the icing down into it.

The eyes are white chocolate that I molded into that shape using the bottom of an Easter egg. The teeth are pieces of gum. The nose, arms, hands, legs and feet are all made from rice krispies that I shaped and then covered with icing. (Note - after a day or two, the krispie parts of the cake get a little soggy when they absorb the oil from the icing, so eat them the first day or toss them!).

I put the balloon candles in his hand. Fondant would have been prettier, but I don't like the taste, so it's a little imperfect, but that's what give him personality, right?
