I got a request for a cake with a waterslide and swimming pool on it, and little kids everywhere. I am going to make it cartoon looking with the big waterslide and pool, but Im not quite sure how to do the kids. I don't want to make them out of fondant, I would rather just draw them on there. I would like to put some in the pool, one or two going down the slide and some standing around the pool.
Any ideas? Thanks!
If you wanted 3 dimensional I would think you would have to use buttercream or royal icing or if you want just flat ones you could just do like stick figures on it. I saw a cake with stick figures one time that looked kind of cute. A buttercream that crusts can be used for figure piping I would think you would just have to have the right shapes on the parts to put against the cake. Sounds like a cute idea.
If you want it still to be 3-dimensional- you could use tiny little dolls. I have seen this done before- and you can still get the cartoon look. I dont know where you would be able to purchase them- but they are like less trhan 5cm tall. You just pipe on bathing costumes- and use fruity lolly rings or other lollies for floaties etc. dont know if this helps, but its just an idea

I've seen people use teddy grahams before and those are cute.. they made snorkel's on one and was really cute
I have decided not to do kids in the pool. I am just going to put 2 kids going down the waterslide, put some gumballs in the pool, and do some stick figure kids playing around the pool. Thanks for you help.
