Select a Design

You can pick a theme from a wide variety of options, such as the show’s main characters and colorful elements like watermelons or rainbows. Then decide the size and shape of your cake according to your serving requirements and design preferences.

Gather Ingredients and Supplies

Make a list of ingredients needed for the cake batter, frosting, and decorations. You can measure your dry ingredients such as granulated sugar or flour with a kitchen scale or use a measuring cup. Ensure you have all necessary baking supplies, such as piping bags, cake pans, spatulas, mixing bowls, and decorating accessories.

Prepare in advance or purchase specialty items necessary for the Cocomelon theme, including food coloring, fondant, and edible decorations.

Prepare Frosting and Fillings

Make your preferred frosting recipe, such as buttercream or cream cheese frosting. If desired, prepare any fillings for the cake layers, such as fruit preserves or flavored buttercream. Color the frosting as needed to match your Cocomelon theme using food coloring.

Decorate the Cake

Roll out fondant or prepare buttercream in various colors to create Cocomelon-themed decorations. Use cookie cutters or hand-cut shapes to make characters, watermelon slices, rainbows, or other elements.

If you are looking for Cocomelon cake ideas for boy, I’ve the best design for you. Creating a JJ rainbow cake for your boy’s birthday is a fantastic way to add a burst of color and fun to the celebration! Here are simple steps to help you bake this delightful treat:

Ingredients

• White Cake mix, add a spoon of vanilla extract for enhanced flavor
• Food coloring (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple)
• Frosting (vanilla or cream cheese)
• Rainbow sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

Follow the instructions on your cake mix box to prepare the batter. Make sure it’s smooth and free of lumps.

Prepare 6 cake batters each in a separate bowl. This will allow you to color each portion with a different color of the rainbow. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix until you achieve vibrant colors. Use red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple for the classic rainbow effect.

Pour each colored batter into its own greased and lined cake pan. Bake according to the instructions on the cake mix box. Once baked, let the cake layers cool to room temperature.

Once cooled, carefully stack the cake layers on top of each other, starting with purple at the bottom and ending with red on top. Spread a thin layer of frosting between each layer to hold them together.

Add rainbow sprinkles on top of the cake for an extra festive touch. You can also add JJ-themed decorations like fondant cutouts or Cocomelon toppers. This colorful Cocomelon birthday cake is sure to be a hit at the birthday party!

Which Food Coloring is Best for Cakes?

You can use natural food coloring or liquid food coloring to color the cake layers. My personal experience tells me that gel food coloring works best.

Watermelon Patch Cake

Make this fun and tasty Cocomelon cake using perfectly moist red velvet cake and homemade buttercream frosting! Without further delay let’s start creating this Easy Cocomelon Birthday Cake.

Prepare the batter following a recipe mix. Divide the batter evenly among three prepared pans, then bang the pans on the counter a few times to release any trapped air bubbles. Bake the red velvet cake layers for 30-33 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out moist. Cool the pans for 10 minutes after removing them from the oven then take out the cake layers.

Homemade Colorful Frosting For Cocomelon Cake

You can use a stand mixer or a hand mixer to make the vanilla buttercream frosting. Once the frosting is at the consistency you desire, place 1/3 cup in a small piping bag fitted with a small round tip.

Add black gel food coloring to 1/4 cup of frosting and mix well. Put 1/3 cup of frosting in a separate bowl and color it red with red gel food coloring. Add a few drops of red and orange gel food coloring to 3/4 cup of frosting to make a salmon pink color. Put all these colored frostings in piping bags fitted with small round tips.

Layer the Cake

Stack the cake layers and crumb coat on a greaseproof cake board. Spread an even layer of frosting between each cake layer using the white frosting you set aside. Make a thick layer of bright green buttercream around the cake using the remaining buttercream colored with electric green gel food coloring.

Decorate the Cake

Pipe the watermelon patch by lightly tracing it with a toothpick or scribe. On the cake’s front, pipe and smooth a pink rectangle. After that, pipe a white outline around it. Use black, white, red, and pink buttercream to add the cute little face.

Pipe on the eyes, nose, and mouth with black frosting. White buttercream can be used for the accents and red buttercream for the cheeks. On the upper left corner of the cake, pipe a ladybug using red and black buttercream.

Alternate Ingredients Options

This Cocomelon cake recipe uses several ingredients, which you might not have on hand or if you have food allergies. Here are some alternatives. The recipe works best with cake flour, but you can also use gluten-free flour blends.

A flaxseed egg or an egg replacer can be used if you are allergic to eggs; however, this will alter the texture of the layers. If you’re dairy-free, use vegan butter and alternative yogurt or milk (almond, soy, oat) instead of full-fat yogurt, sour cream, or whole milk.

Apply a thin layer of frosting, called a crumb coat, to seal in any crumbs and create a smooth surface. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. Then, apply a final layer of pastel frosting to cover the entire cake.

Making the Rainbow Fondant

You’ll need colored fondant in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple (Either buy pre-colored fondant or use gel food coloring to tint white fondant).

For each color, roll out a small portion of fondant into thin ropes or strips, aiming for uniform thickness and length. Lay the fondant strips side by side in the order of the colors of the rainbow.

Gently curve the arranged fondant strips into the shape of a rainbow. Carefully lift the fondant rainbow and place it on top of your Cocomelon cake.
