How to make Perry the Platypus
This is a tutorial on how to make a charm of Perry the platypus from Phineas and Ferb :) I used polymer clay. Enjoy!
Coolest Perry the Platypus Birthday Cake 18
My 5 year old son loves Perry from Phineas and Ferb. In the past I have used Wilton character pans, but I looked everywhere (online included) and none exists. I could not disappoint him, so I went and bought a 12"x18" pan.
I just used cake mix boxes. I had to use three boxes to fill up the pan. I had never used more then one box, so I thought it was going to be a massive decorating task. It turned out to not be bad, probably because there are not a lot of colors in Perry.
Once the cake was baked, I leveled out the top. I then worked right on the cake board. I got a picture I liked of Perry, and sketched it out free-hand with white frosting on the cake. For all my frosting work I use the disposable clear cake decorating bags with Wilton tips and connectors. I then trimmed off excess cake to make it appear like it was from a shaped pan. I then used chocolate frosting in the base areas to make Perry appear stealth, since he is a secret agent and always hiding....

Since my approach to a Perry the Platypus cake was different than the others I’ve seen around the internet, I thought I’d share. But first –
How stinking cute is that? (And the cake’s not bad, either. Bazinga!)
So for the body shape I baked a cake mix in two loaf pans and stacked the layers atop each other à la last year’s Mystery Machine cake . (I didn’t raise it off the tray, though. Perry’s resting.) I used a Yellow Cake mix and added about 45 drops of blue food coloring to the batter, which means that when we cut pieces out of the cake they were a convincing Perry teal. Greg suggested that this was somehow morbid, but I replied that it wasn’t nearly as morbid as red velvet cake would be. Haha.
