Team Umizoomi Cake

Adrienne asked for a team umizoomi cake for her birthday party at school. I made her choose one of the characters from the cartoon (she chose Milli).

So I baked a chocolate cake (made with a pie pan because I didn't have a round pan...).

Then I tinted half a can of vanilla frosting pink and the other half flesh using barely a drop of brown food colouring.

I didn't have to trace out Milli's face onto the cake-- I just drew a mental line where her helmet came down to and frosted that part pink and the rest flesh and flattened it out with a spatula. I added the hair using pink frosting (it was supposed to be red but I used up my red food coloring when I made red velvet cupcakes for adrienne's party at home).

I used a yellow icing tube to pipe out the outline of Milli's helmet and the top of her helmet where her pigtails come out of.

With a black icing gel pen I drew on her eyes and mouth. I used a white icing gel pen to make the white dots on the eyes and draw the flowers on her helmet.

And for the final step, I stuck Twizzlers into the top of the helmet for Milli's pigtails!!

Adrienne was happy about her cake so I was glad! And some of the kids in her class had up to 3 servings of cake! :)
