Description
A fun and kid-friendly Labubu cake inspired by the Pop Mart character, made with pink buttercream, cookie ears, and a round sponge base.
Ingredients
1 round 8-inch vanilla or chocolate sponge cake
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3–3½ cups powdered sugar
2–3 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pink gel food coloring
Small amount of beige or white fondant or tinted buttercream
Black decorating gel or melted chocolate
8 small fondant or white chocolate teeth
Pink fondant or buttercream for the nose
White and black frosting or fondant for the eyes
2 oval cookies (e.g., Milano or sugar cookies)
Popsicle or lollipop sticks
Pink and cream buttercream or fondant
Instructions
1. Bake or prepare your cake base and let it cool completely.
2. Make the buttercream by whipping butter, sugar, vanilla, and milk until fluffy, then tint pink.
3. Apply a rough pink base layer to the cake and pipe textured swirls all over to mimic fur.
4. Smooth beige or white buttercream in an oval shape for the face area.
5. Add eyes, a pink nose, and small teeth using gel, frosting, or fondant.
6. Decorate oval cookies with buttercream and attach popsicle sticks to make ears.
7. Insert the cookie ears into the top of the cake and chill until ready to serve.
Notes
Use buttercream instead of fondant for an easier, kid-friendly option.
Let kids help with piping the “fur” for extra fun.
Freeze the cake without ears for make-ahead prep and add ears on party day.
Swap the teeth for a goofy grin if you’d prefer a less spooky look.
