Hi all,

This cake is DEFINITELY not in the league that most of you decorate in...but I have to share because I'm just so proud to have put a design on the top of my cake for my son. It's Pocoyo, a character from the show of the same name. It shows in Canada and Europe...not sure about the States. Anyhoo...used the Melvira method to smooth out the icing (loved it!), and the piping gel transfer method to get my guy on there...must say though, details were difficult (using a number 3 didn't help either )...is there another method to do something like this, other than a FBCT?

Thanks all and thanks for looking (just click on my photos )

I think it looks very nice and your son will love it so much. Great job!!!

that looks good,, looks like such a cute character.. i love using the piping gel,, that's all i do. Makes me feel like an artist,, even though i can't draw a stick!

Looks great! Your icing is so smooth

Thanks everyone! Gotta love the Melvira method for the smooth icing...wasn't sure when I tried it (and my DH thought I was nuts when I asked him to pick up a foam roller while he was homedepot..."you're going to what?!?" )...but I couldn't believe the ease and results. Great stuff...and I have all you CC'ers to thank! Gawd...sounds like an acceptance speech *lol*. Just can't wait to make my next cake...

very cute. looks just like Pocoyo. My girls love him too.

Pocoyo looks very cute!
