Cookie & cream cheese eyeballs for halloween – yum and gross all at the same time!

Cookie & cream cheese eyeballs for halloween – yum and gross all at the same time!

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.

Spaghetti & Meatballs Cake
1 layer white cake with buttercream icing, fondant “spaghetti”, chocolate covered cookie & creme cheese “meatballs”, strawberry “tomato” sauce, green chocolate “oregano”, white chocolate “parmesan” and real parsley. If I ever had to make it again, I would use some kind of icing instead of strawberry sauce because it ran down through the cake an seeped out around the outside of the cake and made everything a little messy – but it tasted great!
