This UK character can be seen in the US on Sprout. Evidently he's not licensed in the US so had to get a bit creative for the party. Made this by copying a coloring page of Fireman Sam. Buttercream frosting with fondant accents. Made for my son's 4th B'day.
Hi there, I made this guy a few years back. I just found a coloring page of fireman sam and then enlarged it on my photo copier until it was the size I wanted (he ended up being huge lol). The most important part is to nail the facial details. So I cut out those and just traced them onto fondant. The face, shirt and hat are all buttercream and just the accents are fondant (b/c kids don't usually like fondant anyway). For the silver buttons I used that silver edible metallic dust you can get at Michaels.
I hope that helps you, happy to answer any other questions!
Thank you so much for this. I am going to give it a shot (not too sure how it's going to turn out). He's only turning 3 so I am sure that he will think it is great no matter what.
Does anyone have a template for this cake? I can't find one anywhere and my son would like this cake for his birthday.

Hi Liz,
