Here in Canada, Special Agent Oso is a popular character on a kid’s tv show.  I get many requests for themed cakes involving this character.  So I decided to make a tutorial to show how to make this cute, friendly bear. 

Here is what you need:

Gumpaste (yellow, red, black, white, brown and teal)
Rolling pin
medium Cel Stick
zacto knife
paint brush (thin)
pallet knife
small round cutter
tooth picks
black edible marker
edible gum glue
Teal gel
# 10 round tip

Step : 1 -

 

Step : 2 -

On either side of the “head” pinch a small amount of gumpaste to create the ears.

 

 

Step 3:

 

 

 

Step 4:

Roll out another piece of yellow gumpaste into a log, approximately 2-3 inches long.

 

 

 Cut it in half.  These will be the bear’s arms.

Step 5:

 

 

 

Step 6:

 

 

 

Step 7:

With a piece of white gumpaste roll a tiny ball.  Shape this ball into a cone shape.  One the pointed end cut a slit in the centre.

Step 1: Cake Pop Supplies

To make cake pops, you will need:

- A box cake mix and ingredients to make the cake

- A can of frosting

- Candy melts

- Lollipop sticks

- A styrofoam block or cake pop stand

 Step 2: How To Make Cake Balls

 

 

Step 3:

 

 

1) Use your hands. Put chunks of your cake into a large mixing bowl and use your hands to crumble it into a pile of fine crumbs. If you use this method, I suggest cutting off the hard edges of your baked cake.

2) Use a food processor. Put chunks of your cake into a food processor and pulse it into fine crumbs. Move the crumbs into a large mixing bowl.

Step 4:

 

Once you have created your “dough”, you can begin rolling your cake balls. I like to use a stainless steel coffee scoop

to portion out my cake mixture so that all my cake balls are the same size, about 1.25″. Roll the mixture in the palm of your hand to create round cake balls.

Step 5: How To Turn Your Cake Balls Into Cake Pops

Step 7:

 

 

This adorable little cat is cute and really simple to make.  Only needing a few items.

 

What you will need:

4 colours of fondant (one colour for the body, one for the paws, white for the eyes, and pink for the nose)
Zacto Knife
Black edible marker
Gum glue
Tooth pick

Step 1:

 

Step 2:

 

Step 3:

Round the smaller ball and press the front flat so that the face will have a flat surface.

 

Step 4:

 

 

 

Step 5:

  

 

Step 6:

 

 

Step 7:

Roll a long log.  This will be for the cats tail.  Glue the tail behind the cat and curl the tail as you wish to give it some life.

 

 

Step 8:

 

Step 9:

Using a small piece of pink fondant, shape a little cat nose. I added a little point to the end of mine.

 

Step 10:

 

Step 11:

Using the gum glue, attach the nose and the paws to the cat. Once you have all the cat’s parts attached you can draw on the wiskers and eye balls with the black edible marker.

 

Happy Caking!
