Today I’m showing you how to make a Hatchimals Cake! If you haven’t heard of Hatchimals yet, where have you been? Probably the same blissfully ignorant place I was until I was told about them by a friend with a young daughter. Hatchimals are the most popular toy for Christmas 2016. I hope you’ve got one already because if you don’t, you’re likely out of luck as they’re sold out everywhere! Good thing I’ve got this tutorial for you in case you can’t find one! Maybe the kids won’t notice . . .

Candyland was one of my favourite games to play as a kid! We didn’t have it at home, but I remember playing it at lots of friends’ houses and at school. I’ve made sure that each classroom I’ve taught in has had this game because of my fond memories of it! The game itself is super simple- counting to two, limited reading required (basic image recognition), it requires mostly just colour recognition and learning to wait your turn.
There are quite a few versions of the Candyland game board, in fact, the first edition came out in 1949. According to Wikipedia, there are 22 different versions! I believe the version that I base the cake on is the 2010 version of the Candyland game board. The fact that it has Gloppy the Chocolate Monster is what makes me think that. Apparently, prior to 2010, Gloppy was the “Molasses Monster”.
I had to do a lot of candy ordering on Amazon to get all of the candy components to this cake. If you are making it at home, you can make do with what you’ve got on hand, or you can order the candy like I ended up having to. I wanted to make sure that each area was as perfect as it could be, so I went to the extra effort of ordering . . . I even sent my mom looking for peanut marshmallows when she was on vacation with my brother in Minnesota!
This cake was one of my favourite that I have done in a while. There is something special about creating children’s cakes. It must be the Kindergarten teacher in me.
For this cake, I actually had time to enjoy the process during the creating, baking and making processes! The cake was ordered a month ahead of time, so I had lots of time to practice making Cookie Monster. The client wanted a Cookie Monster themed cake, with the front hosting a Sesame Street style name and age for the birthday boy . . . beyond those details, I was pretty much free to decorate as I saw fit. I LOVE those orders . . . FREEDOM is exciting to this cake/cupcake decorator.
