Octonauts Cake

To make Peso, I rolled out a small amount of black icing and cut out an oval for his face.
I then rolled out some white icing and used a knife to cut out the white heart shape to go on top. This was quite tricky to get the right shape.
I then rolled some VERY VERY tiny pieces of black icing into balls to make the 2 eyes.
The Beak was easy - another small ball - yellow this time - and squished it into a beak shape.

The hat I made out of blue - but to get the right shade of blue, I rolled together some white and some blue icing until it because a uniform shade of light blue.

TIP - I found that by alternately rolling into a sausage shape, then a ball shape, then a sausage shape etc, that the icing mixed easily into the new shape of colour.

I then rolled out the light blue, and cut out the hat shape.

I needed to make orange icing for Kwazii, so I rolled together some red and yellow (using the sausage then ball method as described above) until I achieve a nice even shade.

Then it was a simple matter of cutting a circle for the head, then adding some ears - getting them perfectly shaped was tricky.
For the eye patch and eye. I used some black fondant icing. His eye needs a TINY TINY ball of white for the pupil.
The nose - I used a tiny piece of shaped yellow for the 'moustache' and a red dot for his nose and a black dot for his tongue.
Kwazii's ears need a tiny triangle of yellow in them.

Use a toothpick (or similar) to make the little 'freckles' on Kwazii's face.

Kwazii's hat is a darker shade of blue so I didn't need to mix this one. I cut it out and placed it on his head. I found that I needed to make a tiny ball of icing (as thick as the depth of the orange face) to stop the hat from flopping onto the cake.

Barnacles was made with predominantly white icing - I cut out a bear shaped head.

I added 2 tiny black dots for eyes, with even tinier white dots for the pupils.
I used some of the very pale blue (from Peso's hat) to make Barnacle's moustache - and inside of his ears.
His tiny nose was made from a mix of white (and a TINY bit of black) to create a pale grey.
His mouth is a dot of black.

Captain Barnacles needs a mid blue hat similar to Kwazii, which was just cut from blue fondant icing.
