Octonauts cupcakes!

[Mishy1234]

I was having a look for cake decorating ideas yesterday and came across some Octonauts cupcakes on Holly Bell's (of Great British Bakeoff fame) website.

They are so cute! The only problem now is that DS1 has seen them and is under the the (wrong) impression that mummy is capable of making them.

I am so glad dd hasn't seen this! She was thrilled with the cake toppers I bought from Ebay!

Cake toppers, those sound interesting! Might be just the thing.

They are really really simple to make. You just need to break each face into it's component shapes.

Once I've made DS2's birthday cake, I may well give it a go. I shall be keeping it secret from DS1 though, unless they look ok of course!

Here is a tutorial to make a Kwasii (sp?) for the top of a cake but you could just make him cupcake sized and once you have him done you will have the confidence to make the others.

That's fantastic, thanks! I have bought some icing and might have a go next week. I'm in the middle of making a Meg, Mog and Owl cake for Sunday atm and getting very nervous DS2 won't recognise any of the characters. It could be VERY embarrassing.
