This cake was made for our grandson’s 2nd birthday. The cake had to travel 5 hours to Montana so I tried to come up with a method to have Spongebob laying down so he could take the trip better – but not just have him laying flat on a cake board – so that’s where the giant krabby patty came into play.

where’s waldo… errr.. I mean, spongebob!

The bottom and top bun are 10″ round yellow cake each covered in fondant. The “krabby patty” is a 10-inch round brownie. The lettuce is fondant. I tried to research if a tomato or sauce/ketchup… or anything else was showing and got a lot of different answers so I decided to create my own special krabby patty sauce and attach the lettuce with it.  Spongebob is also made from cake and fondant with some hand-painting and was removeable from the krabby patty. The board is covered in 2-tone fondant and hand-painted. The birthday boy got to have Spongebob and we all ate krabby patty.

I had a great new assistant to help me with the final steps of the cake. She created her own spongebob for practice as I was making mine. This was her first fondant cake and she did a fantastic job! We ran out of time and it was getting late and she had class in the morning and since it’s close to halloween.. decided to get into the spirit early and finished her armless & legless sb with a gorey twist… so, if you  may not want to show this last photo to small children… it’s a bit gorey.
