How To Make Spongebob Cake: Step-by-Step Guide

Ingredients:

Yellow cake mix
Buttercream frosting
Food coloring (red, blue, green, yellow, black)
Fondant (optional)

Instructions:

Bake two 9-inch round cakes according to the package instructions.
While the cakes are cooling, make the buttercream frosting and divide it into five bowls. Use the food coloring to dye each bowl of frosting a different color (red, blue, green, yellow, and black).
Use a serrated knife to level the tops of the cakes to make them flat. Place one cake on a cake board or plate.
Spread a layer of yellow frosting on top of the cake.
Place the second cake on top of the frosting. Cut a small piece out of the top of the cake to create a flat surface for Spongebob’s head.
Use the yellow frosting to cover the entire cake, smoothing it out as you go.
Use the red frosting to create Spongebob’s tie. Use the blue frosting to create his shirt collar.
Use the green frosting to create Spongebob’s pants. Use the black frosting to create his shoes and belt.
Use the yellow frosting to create Spongebob’s arms and hands. Use the black frosting to create his eyebrows and mouth.
If desired, use fondant to create Spongebob’s eyes and nose.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set.
Serve and enjoy!
