Introduction: Chocolate Peppermint Spongebob Coat

An instructable to show you how to fix a 3D stand-up Spongebob cake ^_^

My youngest Son turned 3 connected Christmas eve and information technology's been 3 eld now that we did not gift him with present(s) on the birthday but awesome cake(s) - because he is too young to understand tons of presents before and at Christmas, so cake it has always been (finish yr we made him 3D Angry Bird cake on a slingback shot! Impediment the instructable connected my list ^_^)

Just like last year, we once again did non gravel piece eat the complete cake as he did not allow us at all (today is December 28th, and the cake is still standing since December 24th LOL). Last year we sliced his Angry Bird cake and atomic number 2 shrieked and cried. Helium really took turned the cake from the sling shot and run around holding it, all but belik thinking IT was his stuffy toy.

This class, I made an extra cake, and we ate that extra cake as well, plain, no buttercream nor medallion though haha

My babes were amazed by the cake (I polished it at night while they were quiescence and woke them up early for a surprise). My youngest even cried in happiness, that until we added candles lol He was so eager for blowing out his candles....and til today, we e'er have to lid candles and sing, and he would coke out the candles....*face palm* hahahaha

Step 1: Structure

You testament need one square OSB and a small rectangular OSB. The squared unrivaled is the base and the rectangular one is for Spongebob body where the cakes are going to be stacked. The measurement is depending happening you, but my cakes was @ 7 cm x 23 Cm and the board was 9 cm x 35 atomic number 96. From the mensuration you have, that's how you bequeath pick out your steel floor flange, bolts, etc (shown on the pic).

I use the small rectangular OSB to mark down where I want the Spongebob to stand and and so start securing the deck rim to the base board and to the midget rectangular OSB. They need to be exactly cold lined, differently you South Korean won't have an equal flat cake.

Drill a hole as big as your dowel along the center on the organic structure, cover the body with foil, then push in the dowel.

I need about 5 layers of cakes to form up a prissy height of Spongebob.

If you are in Canada, you can find wholly equipment needed, shown on picture, at Rona!

Step 2: Spongebob Legs

Now that your anatomical structure is through, have's put lay down au fait those galvanized metals :)

Roll ii small fondant into ropes and roll flat them as shown on characterization. Brush the fondant with some cream, then attach IT to the "legs"

Roll other 2 small fondant into ropes, and with water, glue these ropes right the bottom of the OSB organic structure.

For the shoes, influence balls two minute fondant and place them right in front of the legs, as shown

Curl another two ropes of fondant, roll flat and dig out two strips. Glue these chevron on the fondant balls and through the back of the legs.

Start picture them as Spongebob legs and place and socks colors are.

Obv. you can Doctor of Osteopathy totally these in precolored fondant, but all I got was Caucasian fondant so I had to tinge them respectively. And instead coloring the fondant one aside one, I find it easier to just paint than dyeing *lazy mom*

Ill-trea 3: Cake and Cream

I feature this cake brownie goat god and find oneself IT easier to use rather than baking hot in a astronomical pan, resulting in a heroic cake and then I have to cut IT into portions of cakes (over again, lazy mom), so that's what I utilization *grins*

One recipe makes 3 cakes, and I baked twice to larn 6 cakes (5 for Spongebob and the last one was the unneeded that we in the end had to eat without cream nor decorations lol)

2 1/2 c flour

2 c sugar

2 tsp Bsoda

a hook Beaver State two salt

6 tbsp cocoa powder

1/2 c vegetable oil

2 c water

In a large bowl, shuffle flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder

In a separate bowl, mix oil, meat and extract, plus water

Pour anele potpourri into flour mixture and add in acetum

Mix to trust considerably

Pour dinge into greased and lined with parchment paper baking pan, bake for 30-35 mins at preheated 350 F

Cold on gouge

Chocolate Peppermint Buttercream

5 egg whites

1 1/4 c sugar

1 lbs unsalted butter

2-3 tbsp cocoa pulverise

1 - 1 1/2 tsp peppermint candy pull out

In a double boiler, heat egg whites and sugar until 160 F, making sure water isn't fully boiled, retributory simmer. Stirring occasionally.

Beat egg whites in low speed over a vertical social, until sang-froid to room temperature. Once white is room temperature, arouse speed to high until forceful peak forms

Beat in butter a trifle at a time, stay fresh beating until creamy

Once thick beat in hot chocolate powder, followed with elicit

Step 4: Building Up Spongebob

Pipe around cream connected a cake and batch. Apiece time, pipe extraordinary cream before stacking. Cover the whole cake with buttercream. Enter two big skewers on cakes for extra strengtheners. So you would have middle dowel pin plus two big skewers.

Axial motion flat a yellow fondant, about 18 inch in size (I use The Matting to roll my fondant and information technology has measure, so 18 inch on all sides. This is enough to continue my overall cake, sides and movement), and cover your cake.

You can either stack the cakes straight off onto the OSB body (push through with the dowel) operating theater you arse cover the cake first then abstract it up and energy IT onto the dowel. Whichever you find it to glucinium easier.

Roll more yellow fondant, sufficient to cover the back of Spongebob.

Come out decorating every bit Spongebob (make indents for the sponge with ball creature or even spoon)

Roll straight white fondant and cut into two rounds for eyes, red fondant for mouth, pink fondant for tongue. Cut hot fondant into small strips for dentition, blue fondant for eyes, black fondant for lashes, etc.

Now to make the hands (which afterward my 7 yo protested why Spongebob only has 3 fingers, I candidly didn't lie with that He had 5 fingers like humans do hahaha). Roll cardinal white fondants and two yellow ropes. Confiscate white and unhealthy with spit and flatten the end of the fearful and shape into fingers.

For the nose, embodiment a yellow fondant into a moderately circl and enclose skewer.

Glue all fondant for eyes etc with a dab of water. Spell for hands and nose, push in the skewers into the cake

Voila, your vertical Spongebob cake is done ^_^

Ohio don't forget for the pants area, either paint white fondant with brown coloring or attach premade brunette fondant. And also make red tie :)
