SpongeBob SquarePants Cake Ideas
SpongeBob SquarePants fans of all ages will enjoy a custom SpongeBob cake for their birthday or other special event. While you can add as many details and embellishments to the cake as you wish, the task of decorating a cake does not have to be complicated to render impressive results. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Easy Cake
SpongeBob's rectangular-shaped body simplifies the task of recreating him in cake form. Bake cake mix or your own cake recipe in a 9-by-13-inch cake pan. If you need a larger cake, try using a sheet cake or half sheet cake to accommodate the number of guests at your party.
Use yellow food coloring to tint homemade buttercream frosting or store-bought white frosting, and frost the top 2/3 of the cake yellow. Draw SpongeBob's face onto the yellow area of the cake using black frosting in a parchment decorating bag outfitted with an open decorating tip. Refer to a picture of SpongeBob to help you with the details.
The bottom area of the cake can be frosted with chocolate and white frostings to create SpongeBob's shirt and pants. Add details with additional frosting.
Shaped Pan
Wilton Industries manufactures several SpongeBob SquarePants-shaped cake pans. These pans can be purchased new from Wilton's website or from cake decorating supply stores. You may also be able to find used pans at a discounted price on Internet sites such as eBay.com or Amazon.com, as well as at thrift stores or yard sales.
Simply pour cake mix into the greased pan, and you will have a perfectly shaped SpongeBob cake after baking. Decorating instructions are usually included with new pans, although the process is as simple as tinting frosting to the desired colors and covering the cake.
Underwater Scene
Instead of making a cake that looks like SpongeBob SquarePants, you can create an underwater scene to include SpongeBob and his friends. Frost any shape of cake with blue frosting to represent water. Choose the size of the cake based on the amount of servings you need for your event. Add a little sand to the cake by sprinkling on crushed graham crackers until you have achieved the desired effect.
You may be able to find SpongeBob cake toppers, but clean plastic toys work just as well and can be used as an additional gift for the cake recipient. If you're feeling ambitious, you can shape Rice Krispy treats into SpongeBob's pineapple house and decorate it with tinted frosting before placing it on the cake.
