A Candy Sphere Cocomelon Cake
This cake would be a super fun design for a Cocomelon themed child’s birthday party. The green icing can be made from buttercream and gel food coloring. The ribbed texture is easily created with a dented scraper. The “balloons” are made from white chocolate melted with food coloring that is then painted onto a mold to make them look like real balloons.
This cake would be super cute with red velvet cake inside to make it look like a real watermelon!
Bake this super easy red velvet cake recipe from the Sugar Geek Show blog in three 6″ cake pans: Doctored Red Velvet Box Mix Cake. Once the cakes have cooled, read below to see how we would recreate this cake for your little one’s birthday.
