Happy Birthday Ee Szen!

My siao colleague, Jes wanted a Ben 10 cake for her boy.

I am like ....waaait a minute.....

I have never been exposed Ben 10, let alone know what is what of the hit show that mesmerises tons of kids out there.  I never exposed my kids to this show and its characters.  I am uncomfortable about this show being about a kid who could change into many aliens and save the world.  Eventhough Samuel knows about Ben 10 from his school friends, from numerous Ben 10 endorsed merchandise, we never really allow him any opportunity to get familiar with it at all.  He is just as impressionable as any other kid out there.   For the same reasons we never allowed him to watch Spiderman, we know that he won't miss life from not knowing Ben 10 and its ten weird cohorts.  In the end, he's just curious about it. 

Which brings us back to this challenge.  What on earth is Ben 10?

Jes gave me a 10 minute crash course on it.  It seems Ben 10 series is about a boy with a special watch called the omnitrix that enables him to change into 10 different aliens, one at a time with objective to save the world.  So far so good.

Jes requested a cake fashioned from the omnitrix and an alien character called Heatblast.  She provided images from the good ol' web!

When I saw Heatblast my eyes popped out!  What is that!?   

It's a fiery alien character!!

Anyhow with reference from several web images... here's the outcome.  I am not too sure if it resembles the real thing... but I gave my best shot! 

Here's the omnitrix and fiery creature - Heatblast!


I covered the 6inch moist chocolate cake with gumpaste and placed the omnitrix on top.  The Heatblast stands at the side, ready for action!!


Heatblast is an alien, thus alien face!


At his surprise birthday party at the kindy, Ee Szen exclaimed 'HEATBLAST' when he saw the cake!
I feel better.  At least Heablast was recognizable!


Oh well!  That was quite something!
