A birthday cake for a 5 yearold boy. That was it. That was what I was asked to make, no further instruction. Now this might seem like a simple task to you, but i don't know any children, sad to say, so I had no real idea of what little boys liked. After much umming and awwwing I had two ideas, Spongebob or Nintendo. I figured, most kids have a DS and being a boy he might have decided he was too old for Spongebob.
The cake was huge as the initial layer cake came out on the slimish side, so I decided to make another one and sandwich it. I looked up a couple of iconic Nintendo characters using good ol' Google image and made frozen buttercream transfers for the screens.
The addition of the chocolate fondant stars and the cake pop stylus helped to give it the finishing touches. When the boy's grandmother came to collect it she said that he had received the new Mario game for his DS for his birthday (phew! he had a DS!) she also mentioned that just that morning he had asked for a Spongebob cake!!!!
