I made a second batch to use for decorating tinting a bit at a time to use for Georges face, the lettering and the border. For the dark brown portions of George’s fur I went ahead and used some of my leftover chocolate frosting from the inside of the cake. It was the perfect color! … Read more
I made this Curious George cake for our niece Hayden’s first birthday party. I used a few of the ideas from this very website and designed my own version. The hat is made from two 6” round cakes stacked with one-half of a sports ball pan on top. The base of the hat is two … Read more
