I’m late in posting this. Kiddo wanted a cake that looked like his favorite Minecraft Axolotl stuffie for his 9th, and we both hustled to make it last minute. He helped with the fondant tail and did a bang up job!
How cute! It’s cool that he was able to help construct the cake, too.
He did a great job on the tail and the cake looks like a replica of the stuffed animal! What a fun 9th birthday cake!
Such a cute and custom cake! It’s so great that the birthday boy and your hubz contributed, too!
It looks just like his toy! I bet he was tickled at how it turned out. He will remember this birthday cake for years to come.
Cool. It has a very southwestern feel.
This turned out really great! He’ll remember this one.
Plus, axolotls are super cool.
Adorable!
I just know this was a complete hit with the kiddos. Awesome job, mom and dad!
This turned out great! And what a fun memory this will make. My son often reminisces about his different cakes from over the years.
This is so awesome! My daughter wants this cake in pink. I hope that you can offer a little advice, as I am not a baker at all.
How did you make the gills: what thickness of fondant? Was it simply fondant or did you mix in something to increase strength? How did you attach this to the cake

Hi! That’s awesome! I just used Wilton fondant from the grocery store. I rolled it to probably half an inch thick and let the shapes dry overnight to keep them stable before attaching on the cake. You can put toothpicks (when the fondant is moldable) about halfway in the edge of the shapes, if you want a little extra support to stick in the cake. It’s gonna be an adorable cake in pink!
