So I am making a bob the builder theme cake for my nephew who is turning 4 tomorrow. I made Bob out of fondant, tool belt and all 2 weeks ago. I also made a tool box. I was actually ahead of shedule this time.
Well last night i baked and iced the cakes. This morning I cover them with fondant and start assembling. I attached Bob in the spot i wanted him and held him there for quite a while until I felt like he was secure and go on about with the rest of the cake. 20 minutes later he goes air born and hits the floor and crashes to a million pieces. I want to cry! ;( The only thing salvagable was his head, the rest I have to make again. The party is a noon tomorrow. UGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!
Oh the joys of cake decorating......I feel for ya, just finished my baby blocks cake (two of which got squished 12 hours before pick-up), that was a total nightmare! Hey look at it this way, at least you have until tomorrow and you can be up until 3 am tonight with the rest of us crazy cake decorators!
How long did Bob take you to make?....do you have time to do him again?
He took about 2-3 hours. yep i have time to make him again. only thing that sucks is i am going to have to color fondant and all that lovely crap again.
UGHHH usually i am waiting until the last minute to do things, this time I planned and I still am screwed. Oh well.
Well I managed to make another bob and he actually turned out better than the 1st one LOL
Here it is:

I cant figure out to make pic bigger so here is think to it in my photos.
