My son turns 5 on the 7th of this month. Things have been crazy at home and I am just now planning the party. When I ask him this am what kind of cake he wants his reply was " I want Patrick Star (from spongebob) standing up on 2 legs" I said Clayton I am not sure mommy can do that. His reply "Mommy they can do it on cake central. Are you not as good as those people?"

OK so he has driven home a very good point...I am not as good as "those people", but now the little stinker has challenged me.

I am thinking of making 3D patrick out of rice krispy treats and 3D Spongebob from cake.

Anyone have any suggestions for me? I need to meet the expectations of a 5 year old!

Your idea sound great, but I actually had to respond because your son's comment about CC was so stinkin' cute and gave me a good chuckle!!!!!!! "Out of the mouth's of babes"...........

rather than stand spongebob up on legs....

have him sitting down with legs out in front -- that way his body is just a tall stack of cake (in essence several same size tiers stacked and iced)

and re patrick:

notice how at his core he's a wondermold???
so stubby legs, styroball bottom of belly,
wondermold main body, RKT arms and extension to head?

I have a 4 and 5 year old so I can relate...that's just too cute!! Thankfully my one year old isn't demanding yet! Good luck on your cake...the good thing is that kids are easy to please

Just after I posted my response I clicked on the home page and saw this had just been added...

Talk about good timing

OK guys now you have my creative juices flowing!!! Such great ideas!

I swear Doug must have x-ray vision. He can look inside a object and see its construction. Gonna have to keep that in mind if we ever have that CC convention

I live in the curvy hills of WV I doubt Spongebob standing on two legs would make it to the party! VERY cool cake though! I am off to make some comments on it!!

I actually want to comment on your avitar. I LOVE IT!! I have two goldens. They are the best dogs in the world! Give yours a big hug for me. LOL

Thanks-"Shaq" will be 15 years old on the 19th of this month. Hummm I wonder what kind of cake he wants??

Your right they don't come any better than a golden!

UPDATE-same 5 year old boy just came to me and said "Mom I've been thinking...you could use lollipop sticks and marshmallows to make patricks legs" Am I raising a cake freak or the next Duff??

My 6 year old loves to sit at my computer and view all the cakes. He know how to get in and out of the gallery just about as good as I do! Good luck with your cake!!!
