Everyone in my family knows that I’m frugal, and I’m not ashamed to admit it. I believe in investing my money wisely. Since my drawing skills are a work in progress, I used to resort to printing pictures of the objects I needed to cut out of fondant as templates for my cakes. However, I had a stroke of genius when I decided to use the Baby Shark Play-Doh set for one particular cake.

The cake in question was a Baby Shark cake for my son’s second birthday. I’d already made two Baby Shark cakes in the past, and cutting out each shark was a time-consuming task. So, let me walk you through how I ingeniously used the Baby Shark Play-Doh set to create this cake, a process quite similar to using regular fondant cutters.

Purchasing the Baby Shark Play-Doh Kit

At this stage, I started looking for Baby Shark Fondant cutters online, but I was taken aback by the steep prices, especially for just one shark cutter. My thrifty side kicked in, and I couldn’t help but think there must be a more affordable alternative.

That’s when I stumbled upon the Play-Doh Baby Shark kit online and thought, why not give it a shot?

What does The Kit Include

The kit turned out to be an excellent choice as it came with 21 tools, featuring shark bodies in two different sizes, mouths, eyes, mustaches, and more. I was genuinely impressed with the kit and wasted no time in starting my Baby Shark project as soon as it arrived.

Before diving into the task at hand, I took the essential step of sanitizing each piece meticulously to ensure there was no risk of harsh chemicals or bacteria contaminating the fondant or cake.

Preparing Each Color

Now, if you don’t happen to have all those specific colors readily available for each shark, I suggest dividing one ball of fondant into nine different portions, matching the colors included in the Play-Doh kit. After you’ve created each color, simply wrap them in plastic until they’re ready to be used.

Putting the Pieces All Together

Begin with Baby Shark, using one size of the shark body to cut out the body shape. Repeat this step for all the sharks in the family. Next, cut out the white piece for the stomach of each shark. After each piece has been cut, follow the same process for the eyes and mouths.

For Grandpa Shark and Grandma Shark, cut out the mustaches and glasses separately. Once all the pieces are cut out, you can start assembling each shark.

Additionally, the kit includes a ruffle rolling pin attachment that can be used to create waves, a starfish and shell cutter, and a mini fish mold. These tools can be used to add extra details and enhance the overall design of your cake.

Recommendations

I must say that the Play-Doh kit worked wonders for me. Not only was it budget-friendly, but each piece provided precise cuts, making it incredibly user-friendly. What’s more, the kit offered an extensive selection, down to every character and their features.

I highly recommend giving the Baby Shark Play-Doh Set a try for your cake decorating needs, especially when you’re unable to find the right tools online. As you can see in the picture above, the cake turned out beautifully and was a big hit at my son’s party at the Great Wolf Lodge. Please don’t hesitate to share your thoughts and experiences if you’ve used a kit like this before. This was my first time, and I’m curious to hear about your experiences. Thank you, and may you be blessed!
