curious george cake

happy birthday james! curious george style!
sarah requested the man in the yellow hat's hat for james' birthday so here's what we came up with...

my dad's famous fondant and butter cream on a funfetti cake. we just used two six inch rounds and a stainless steel bowl because the cake wasn't meant to feed the whole party. we used the scraps from leveling the cakes to round the top off before we iced it and covered it in fondant. the bowl worked really well it just had to cook for longer. his name is written in fondant as well.

george's little body under the rim is some tin foil. we used a sugar sheet for the black stripe. the bananas are fondant with edible marker stripes (very andy warhol-esque). and lolly came up with the final touch of putting the scrapbook paper underneath, definitely made a huuuge difference!
