Pokemon Birthday Cake

In the past few months, I seem to keep learning more and more about many different cartoons, games and other themes that kids are really into these days.  When my sister-in-law asked me if I could make a Pokemon cake for my nephew’s birthday, I was excited to do it…but immediately started searching for ideas, since I’m not familiar with it.  When pressed for time with the thirty million other things going on, cake toppers are definitely the way to go.  😉

This is a 3 layer chocolate cake with mini chocolate chips and chocolate filling, covered with buttercream icing.  I bought the cake toppers from www.amazon.com, along with the mini ball pan for that extra little thingie-ma-bopper on top.  In case you’re not familiar with that term, it means, “I have absolutely no idea what it’s called.”  Hey, it works.  The letters were made using a two toned fondant letter mold, the white part is fondant and the yellow background is chocolate.  Can’t wait for this little guy to eat his birthday cake, even though he’s technically reached the “cool” and “not cool” age.  🙂
