Yo Gabba Gabba Foofa Cake

Each member of our family is a huge Yo Gabba Gabba fan... We have even seen DJ Lance and the Gabba gang live on stage 2 times! They are AWESOME! Our youngest, Brooke, is all about Yo Gabba Gabba, so it was a no brainer when it came to her birthday cake! This is pretty easy to create.
Covered the cake in yellow fondant... Created green garden mounds for Foofa Land.


Used a fondant cutter for the daisies and shaped them in plastic spoons.  Used pink icing for the centers piped from a plastic bag.


Printed a paper Foofa and glued to a lollipop stick.  Used Wilton food writers for details... and Brooke was pretty excited for her Foofa Land cake!

It's always fun to have a little extra surprise in the cake, so the batter was pink and yellow, the bottom layer (supposed to be center) was pastel confetti... but it still tasted good and made our Gabba Fan happy!

    1. No, not at all. Fondant is like working with clay... and you roll it out like sugar cookie dough... I was intimidated at first and then after one try I was hooked. For me, it is so much easier than piping with all the bags and tips and clean up, plus my kiddos like it too. Use a coupon and buy a package of white ready made fondant at Hobby Lobby or Michaels!
