We are gearing up for a REALLY big day… I’ll give you a hint:
VeggieTales, VeggieTales, VeggieTales, VeggieTales!
Broccoli! Celery! Gotta be
VeggieTales!
Lima beans! Collard greens! Addie’s Three!
VeggieTales!
Cauliflower! Sweet and sour! Half and hour!
VeggieTales!
Plans are in the works for a very veggie birthday at the end of July. For MONTHS we have had the following conversation:
“Mommy, can I have a Bob birthday cake?”
“Sure!”
“Mommy, do you want a Larry birthday cake?”
“Why not?” (My birthday is two days after Miss Add)
“Daddy, do you want a Junior birthday cake?”
“Yes!”
So we have decided to do a combo Bob/Larry cake with very veggie cupcakes that spell out “Happy 3rd Birthday Addie”.
I have been scouring the net to find some inspiration for these little cupcakes.
I found this perfect starting point over at www.cakemiracle.com:
I heart the little characters!!!
So it gots me thinkin’.
My fam is not a fan of fondant… we’re buttercream kind of folk… so, I thought why not make the figures out of polymer clay and Add can play with a new set of veggie pals afterward.
So, I started with Bob and Larry…
First I had to condition my clay for 2 minutes–which consists of working the clay until it is soft and pliable.
Then I formed Larry’s body.
Then added his eyes and nose 🙂
Finished up his eyes…
Then added his cute little mouth with his tooth.
On to Bob…
Same simple steps 🙂
I can’t WAIT for her to see these little guys.
Then I finished off with Bob’s greens 🙂
Ta Dah!
I plan on adding toothpick holes on the bottom of each figure before baking…
These were so simple and fun, I can’t wait to make the rest of the gang! I know I will make Junior and probably Laura… maybe Mr. Lunt and Pa Grape… oh! And, Madam Blueberry… This is going to be fun! Stay tuned 🙂

Oh the Veggie Tales website has some birthday items; I got Bob and Larry balloons from there last year.
