Wendy, I wish I didn't know about this things-uugghh but for some reason my 3 y/o son loves these weirdos and I thought the Teletubbies were insane.
They live in some some type of pod and they're all about getting the kids off the couch at the early toddler stage to do exercises and such. (Well that's what the lady at the PBS Hawaii station told me when they went on in place of the Teletubbies much to my then 2 y/o daughter's tearful shagrin) but I digress.
I actually made one of these one time as a joke for my husband who when he saw them said "I think I need a drink-it's 8:00 a.m. here but it's 5:00 p.m. somewhere".
You're on the right track about how to make it. I made the body with the wondermold and put an extra large cupcake on the head. I put two dowels in it to hold it up. I then used that tip that you use to make grass with (can't find it right now) for the fur or whatever that is and made the head, eyes & hands out of fondant. I made the yellow one and put some luster dust on it as well. I had pictures but then my lap top got stolen and that's where I had them. HTH

Tip 233. Love that tip!

I saw a boohbah cake on another site and the person said how they made it, here's the link:

And I won't even tell you what I think a boohbah looks like

HTH!

My youngest loves these weird looking things too. We have all 5 in all 5 colours dotted around the house I may have to make one of these also for his birthday.

Amia, you don't have to say what they look like, I already think that

Thanks for all the info - I'm not a huge fondant person so I"ll start playing.. Pic of cakes would be fab if anyone has them.. I only saw two in the gallery..

I Tivo'd the show, but it isn't on until next weekend.. I guess there isn't a huge calling for these guys on tv?? Now Spongebob, I can find.. LOL

Thanks again!!!

hehehehhehehe...

I've done Spongebob and I"m ok with that..

It's like the Doodlebops too - they freak me out too.. I actually wrote to Disney a long time ago because they took the Wiggles off air to replace them with Doodlebops - they are just as bizarre!!
