Am going to try and attempt your cake and hope it turns out remotely as good. In the past I've made bob the builder, blues clues, spiderman, transformer, lego and castle cakes for my older son, but this will be quite adventurous, even for me. I love what you both have done, so very creative. Thanks for the detailed instructions. I will have to make do with the limited supplies we get in Qatar. Thanks!!

However I think on my trial i will try fondant as I have wanted to for years!!! So thank you SOOOOO much for all the directions and pictures to help.... also just in case anyone else needed a little help... if fondant icing is just too intimidating Wilton actually sells it in packages.... I am sure the taste isn't great but for the really small amounts it shouldn't be a problem and it really isn't that expensive.... just a local craft store like Michaels would have it....

I am very much into making fancy cakes for his birthday - age 1 was a very gorgeous Pooh Bear and age 2 was Bob the Builder. Thank you so much for putting all of this info on the net - it will make my task a lot easier than I thought it would be.

Our boys loved the cake. Seriously. They still talk about it. The project took us about half a day total, though we split it up. I would recommend making the cakes, buttercream, and fondant the day or night before you plan to decorate. There isn't much fondant on the cake, just the white details and the Rusteeze label; all the rest is buttercream. Decorating was fairly easy, just time consuming. Michael started late one evening and worked on it until 2 am. If we were professionals, we could probably do it a lot faster! :-) Hey Johanna! Our boys loved the cake. Seriously.
