How do I make a Bluey cake without fondant?

You can use colored buttercream instead! Pipe Bluey’s features with gel-tinted buttercream and outline with black piping gel or frosting.

Can I make a Bluey cake ahead of time?

Yes! Bake and crumb coat the cake up to 2 days in advance. Add final decorations the day before the party and store chilled.

What size cake do I need for 10 kids?

A two-layer 8-inch round Bluey cake serves 12–14 slices. For larger parties, consider adding cupcakes or a sheet cake sidekick.

How do I get the exact Bluey blue color?

Mix royal blue and a small amount of sky blue gel food coloring. Adjust gradually until it matches the animated shade.
