Ben 10 Omnitrix Cake

At the time my 9 yr old son was really obsessed with a cartoon called Ben 10. He wanted a cake of the characters omnitrix, basically a watch shape with funny pattern. You could not have this made at the grocery stores and I was not willing to pay an outrageous amount at a specialty cake store. So, I took to trying to recreate this.

He also wanted an ice cream cake. So I baked a boxed cake mix in a 9x13 pan and another in an 9 in round to achieve the shape. I then froze the cakes and later cut them to shape, then halved them to add the ice cream. For the inside ice cream I whipped it together with a little Cool Whip for an easier texture to work with.

He was SO excited and while you can tell it is a bit amateur he didn't care and it tasted great.
