My daughter was really into Bob the Builder so this is what resulted. His ears are WAY too big but she didn't seem to notice. It was done by using two layers of square cake, but cutting the second layer up. A circle for Bob's head, the way too big ears and the "peak" of his helmet were all carved out of the second layer. I used the star tip and buttercream to ice it because I wasn't familiar with fondant at that point in time.
