Teletubby Birthday Cake
What You'll Need:
- 1 10-inch springform cake layer already baked
- 4 cups white frosting
- Food coloring
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Toothpicks
- Bbrown and red fruit leather
- Licorice twizzlers (the same color as your frosting will be)
- Wax paper to make the face template
- Junior Mints
- Lightweight white cardstock
How to Make It:
- Divide the frosting 3 cups into a bowl and 1 cup in another bowl.
- Add 12-15 drops of food coloring (of your choice) to the 3 cups of frosting to use for your color of Teletubby.
- Add 1 tablespoon cocoa to the 1 cup of frosting to use for the face
- On the cake layer, cut off 1-inch crescent shapes from the sides. Flip these around and cut shorter if you wish, to make the ears. You can make them stay with toothpicks.
- Cut the wax paper to the oval shape we have given for the face.
- Lay the face template on the center of the cake layer and then spread the rest of the cake with the colored frosting.
- Remove the wax paper and spread the face color in the oval; building up the nose to a point. Make the icing thick enough to make indentations for the eyes.
- From our template, cut out 2 shapes for the whites of the eyes. Place those on the face and then add the brown fruit leather cut outs. Use a Junior Mint in the center of the brown color to make the eye pupil.
- Cut a smile shape from the red fruit leather and put it on Teletubby for the mouth.
- Shape a licorice twizzler to make the antennae for your Teletubby. You can poke it into the top of the cake. For Po, you need to hook the two ends together with a toothpick like we did.
- Have fun and enjoy your very own Teletubby!
