He is a cute little guy, but after making a cake and cupcakes for Little Lion's birthday, I'm tired of him :)For LL's birthday party I decided to make a Wow Wow Wubbzy cake because LL is OBSESSED with him! He could watch him all day if I let him!
I used the template found at nickjr.com. I made 2 9x13 cakes....from a box (I'm not that fancy :) I made the main cake thicker than the leg/arms/tail cake for depth. I put the templates on the skinny cake and cut them out.
The body of WWW was easy as it's just a rectangle with some ears. I put the body down and placed the cut outs underneath the body. 
I mixed up some yellow frosting by using the Walton yellow gel food coloring dye. I frosted the cake and then used a ziplock baggie with the tip cut off to get the harder parts around the outside. That way, I didn't get as many crumbs in the frosting. 
For the final touches, I used black icing prebought in a tube. I just outlined the body,arms,legs, and tail. I followed the WWW face pattern and Viola :) 
The cake was a hit at the party. Little Lion loved it and knew exactly who it was. In his words....Wow Wow Wow :)Little Lion was in charge of bring snacks this week for school. I thought a cake wouldn't be easy for the teacher and 12-3year olds. So I decided cupcakes. I looked all over and found on the internet this idea which I stole :) It was basically the only WWW cupcake that didn't include the plastic topper things. It was easy, but time consuming. I made cupcakes...box again :) I frosted them with the same yellow frosting. The time consuming part was making the hands and tail. I drew a hand and traced it on yellow construction paper. The lady on the website that I stole it from used yellow file folders.
I cut them out...it took an hour!!!
For WWW's tail, I took foot long pipe cleaners and cut them in half. I zig zagged them for the true WWW look ;) 
I stuck them into the cupcakes and added a black eyes/nose/mouth with the skinny gel tube.
CUTE!!! Here is the platter of Wubbzy's ;)
I did send the teacher a note to make sure to take off the tail and arms so the 3 year olds won't eat it ;) LL's teacher had no idea who Wubbzy was, but all the kids knew instantly when they got them! I think I did a good job. And yes you can pass The Mommy of The Year Award :)

Look at you getting all fancy! The cake looks awesome and I'm sure the kids loved the cupcakes!
Wow!
Those are awesome!
Certainly deserving of Mother of the Year honors!
I get Google alerts that show me when anything Wubbzy related pops up on the net.

Great job!

First, How COOL is it that the creator of WWW left a comment on your page!!!!! Secondly, you earned the Mother of the Year award!! That cake is awesome! I still don't know how you ice a cake without getting crumbs in it. I followed your directions last time, and I still can't do it right. One of these days we can have a cake frosting play date!
