If you were moulding bob the builder in sugar paste.....

[jojo76]

How would you do the squares on his checked shirt? I'm making a bob cake, I think I can make bob, but the shirt is tricky. Would you paint them on, or make tiny orange squares to stick on a yellow shirt, which just seems too fidly? Or, would you do a yellow shirt and hope no one notices.....

Put him in a brown jumper and pretend its turned chilly

this is yellow all over

Def yellow shirt,
nobody is going to notice and say, hey look that Bob has the wrong colour shirt on.
They will just be very impressed that you made the cake in the first place.
remember to post a piccie afterwards!

OMG! Thanks for the replies, I fully expected people to read this and think "who cares??!!". You're right, MingMing, no one is going to comment, hadn't thought of it like that! I think i'm being so particular because Im being paid to make the cake , so want it to be PERFRET!! Gok, I could put him in a coat.....I think ds has a bob with a coat!!! Bald, did you make him? It's brilliant!!!
Will post a pic afterwards, as long as it's not crap...

No, not mine, I googled 'sugar paste bob the builder'

Oh, hah, have been googling all evening, and never found anything helpful - thank you!
