Instructions :

Step 1 : Bake the Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy about 2 minutes.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. Divide the batter evenly between the cake pans and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 2 : Make the Blue Buttercream

1. Beat the butter until creamy and smooth.
2. Add the powdered sugar gradually, beating until combined.
3. Stir in the vanilla extract and 2 tbsp of milk, then continue mixing. Add more milk as needed for a smooth consistency.
4. Mix in blue food coloring until you get the perfect shade for Bluey

Step 3 : Assemble & Decorate

1. Place one cake layer on a plate or cake board. Spread a layer of blue buttercream on top.
2. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining blue buttercream.
3. Roll out black, white, and blue fondant to cut out Bluey’s face features eyes, nose, ears, and eyebrows.
4. Place the fondant features on the cake to resemble Bluey’s face.
5. Use a piping bag with a star tip to add extra frosting details if desired.
6. Decorate with sprinkles or other Bluey-themed decorations.

Tips for Success :

• Chill the cake before decorating for a smoother frosting application.
• Use gel food coloring for vibrant blue shades without making the frosting too thin.
• If fondant isn’t your thing, use melted chocolate or candy pieces for Bluey’s features
