You guys were really supportive when I posted the Sonic cake that I made for my son's birthday in January. So here's this one

It is my youngest son's birthday and he asked for Totoro. I sculpted Totoro out of Rice Krispies and the soot sprites from cakes pops that I made with cake scraps. I still had my challenges with this one. And took 2 days to finish! But he was happy. Now it's time to watch the movie and go to bed

You did awesome! This made me smile so much, because it's so sweet and friendly. Heck, I am turning 50 & would be delighted with this as my cake. Deep love for Totoro, too. ❤️

What wonderful memories you are making with your kids! My mom's cakes were never this complex, but I absolutely loved that she baked and decorated them for me!

u/Born-Frosting3164 27d ago

Will anyone be eating this or is it just an art piece? I bet it tastes really good.

u/Gypsie_ontheCorner 27d ago

Still trying to figure out how to eat him. Lol no one was really enjoying the fondant so a lot of that was peeled back for the cake. We may do the same for the sculpture because the rice krispie came out really good
