Panda Bear Cake

My first birthday cake was similar to this and when my son turned one my mom made one sort of like it for him too. My daughter turned one in December so we made her this one for her birthday. We used a 9 inch pan for the body, 8 inch for the head and cupcakes for the arms, legs and ears. We probably should have used white cake for the head since the chocolate crumbs mixed into the frosting. Eyes and mouth were done with leftover choc frosting and cake decorating gels.

Editor's Note: That's a very cute cake, Melody. Thank you very much for sending it in. Your ideas will help future visitors when they make a panda bear cake for their child's birthday.
