Start by rolling a white circle of fondant for the head. Make sure your fondant has been mixed with a hardening agent or you are using gum/sugarpaste

Roll out two small balls of black and attach to the face with some edible glue or water

Add a small grey ball and two light blue balls for the nose/mouth

Roll out two balls for the ears and flatten them.

Roll out a smaller blue circle, attach to the ear and then stick the ears to the head.

Roll out a jellybean shape for the hat and using your finger, indent the middle (there is probably a much better way for doing this)

Pull up the middle of the hat gently with your fingers to get the right shape

Stick onto the head

Using a fine paintbrush or toothpick, draw the Octopus/like shape that he has on his hat

Roll out an oval shape of blue for the body

Roll out a circle of paler blue and cut away a small triangle

Attach to the body and then place a toothpick or piece of dry pasta to act as your support.

Roll out some white and cut a small strip. Attach to the body

Roll out a strip of light blue for the belt and add two small yellow strips and a dark blue rectangle for the walkie talkie (or whatever that thing is!)

Roll out a yellow circle and then attach a smaller grey circle and a small red triangle. Using white food colouring mixed with a little alcohol, paint on the other triangle (or you may want to cut it out of fondant – I found it was easier to get the two triangles to ‘match’ by painting on the second)

Stick onto the belt

I’m not very proud of the arms or legs! But the arms are simply two blue ‘sausages’ that are flattened at one end and have a white hand at the other end.
The legs are blue sausages with flattened light blue balls at the bottom. The legs are attached with toothpicks into the body.

Now you know why I placed Captain behind the ‘O’ and ‘M’…. so it would draw attention away from his bad legs!!!!!

Tunip is a Vegimal (half animal, half vegetable)

To start making Tunip, you will need some yellow and blue fondant or gumpaste. If you are using fondant, add a hardening agent so that it will harden once completed.
Roll the blue fondant into a cone shape

Tap the wider part of the cone on your mat to flatten and then set aside to dry for a few minutes.


Roll out your yellow fondant into a ball shape

Attach to the blue fondant using some edible glue or water

Using your thumb, smooth the yellow and blue together to get rid of the seam. Don’t worry about distorting the shape at this stage.
(apologies for the bad photo, but it was hard to take an action shot! I basically worked my thumb from the blue up to the yellow, smoothing it in together)



Gently roll Tunip so that the yellow part returns to a ball shape

Make two small blue tear drops for the feet and then attach the body with some glue or water.


I found it was easiest to put something behind Tunip so that he remained straight whilst drying.

Roll out two teardrop shapes for the arms and flatten them.

Attach to Tunip using some water or edible glue

At this point I inserted half a toothpick into Tunip so that I could stand him up on half a polystyrene ball.
Make sure that after gluing the arms on that you ‘kink them up’ slightly at the bottom (hope that makes sense!)
To make the top of Tunip, roll out some green fondant into a teardrop shape. Also make a small hole at the top of Tunip’s head.

Cut the top into strips and then tidy up the rough edges



Leave the green to dry and using an edible marker, mark on Tunip’s face

Roll out two small white balls and stick them together just above the black mouth. Add a smaller blue ball for the nose.

Stick on the green hair

Using some white food colouring and a very fine paintbrush (or toothpick), mark a small dot on the eye


And that it is! You’ve just completed your first (and probably only) Vegimal

Next up in our Octonaut tutorial series is Peso the Penguin
Start with some black fondant mixed with a hardening agent (or black gum/sugarpaste), and roll out a ball for the head and an oval for the body. Peso has an unusually large head, so make sure you factor that in!
Roll out some orange into two teardrop/triangle shapes
Make 3 incisions for the toes on the larger side, flatten the other side and stick Peso’s body onto the feet.
I’ve also stuck on a white oval of fondant and a toothpick in the body before sticking Peso in some styrofoam to stand.
Next cut out a blue circle and cut a triangle from it

Cut out a white circle for the head and using a smaller cutter, cut out the bottom so that it looks like the top of a heart.



Stick onto Peso’s head and add two small black balls for his eyes

Using a toothpick or fine paintbrush, dot on some white edible colouring for the pupils

To make the hat, roll out some white fondant thickly and cut out a circle

Indent the circle using a ball tool


Roll out a white cone and stick inside the hat using some edible glue or water


Using an edible marker or edible food colouring, draw on the hat markings.
This is where you need to look away, because my drawing skills are AWFUL!!!!!!!
Add the collar to the body, a toothpick or piece of dry spagetti and the arms. Once everything is dry you can stick the head to the body.

Next for our Octonaut Cake tutorials is Quasi

Start by rolling a ball of orange fondant (mixed with a hardening agent) or gum/sugarpaste for the head.

Roll out your black and cut out a small circle using a cutter or straw. Cut the circle in half. Using a paintbrush, slightly indent one of the semi circles.

Roll out more black and cut out a thin strip for the eye patch.

Attach the eye patch and eye to the head with some edible glue or water

Add two yellow balls and a smaller red ball for the nose/mouth

Roll out two orange triangles for the ears and stick a thin yellow triangle on top. Attach to the head.

Using an edible marker, mark on the ‘cheek dots’ (ha – my new made-up word!!)

For the hat, cut out a thick circle of blue

Using a ball tool, indent the centre of the circle

Roll out a triangle and attach that to the hat.

Using a fine paintbrush or toothpick, draw on the Octonaut ‘octopus’ shape on top of the hat. Also dot on the eye.

Roll out an orange oval for the body. Add a yellow oval (cut at the top) to the body.

Roll out some blue fondant into a small L shape for the boot. Flatten the bottom of the boot and using a ball tool, mark in the top of the shoe for where the leg will go.

Roll out orange sausages for the legs and attach to the boots

Attach the legs to the cake

Attach the body to the legs

Roll out two sausages for the arms. Using a knife, make an indent for the hands and flatten the other side.

Attach one to the body and then attach the other around the giant letter (or, if you don’t have giant letters, just attach both arms in the same way)


Attach the head and Voila!
