When the birthday boy's mom mentioned that he liked Bakugan, I started to think of how I could make this popular children's toy out of cake. I decided to make it look like the Bakugan symbol, rather than a 3-D toy, and this is what I came up with. For those of you not familiar with Bakugan, it's a little ball type toy that opens into some sort of creature (like a dragon) when it's rolled. (That's the best I can do for an explanation, it's a little tricky to describe!). As I was making it, I started to think of it as painting and really enjoyed working with the colours! I also appreciated that I did not have to make it look perfect and flawless! All of the red is done with fondant, while the rest is buttercream.
