Octowhats?!?!

I’m well and truly behind the times when it comes to kids shows these days! I use to think I knew them all, could name all the character…even knew some dances…not anymore, have I got some research to do!

A colleague of mine asked if I could make a cake and cupcakes for her sons 2^nd birthday, in an Octonaut theme. I hear you…Octowhat?!?! These little dudes are pretty cool, there is even a real life Turnip name Tunip…I think he’s my favourite even though he didn’t make an appearance on the cake.

I gradually put this cake together, making the characters one day and then slowly added all the other decorations to the collection. I was due to deliver the end result on a Saturday afternoon, however this particular Saturday was ridiculously hot and sticky and I dreaded the thought of handing over a cake with half the decorations melting off. Luckily the party was on a Sunday morning so I offered to drop it off knowing that everything would dry overnight.

It took me most of the Saturday to put together, soooo happy with it though and when Mr 2 saw it he pointed at it yelling “Nauts! Nauts!” and then went to show me his ‘Nauts’ daycare backpack…super cute!
