About the course

Ready to give your cakes a little character—literally? In this hands-on course, you'll learn how to create a show-stopping Bobble Head-style cake using the Dinkydoodle Bobble Head structure kit. Inspired by collectible figures like Funko Pops, these cakes feature oversized heads, expressive details, and plenty of personality! You'll master the art of stacking, filling, and carving the cake to form the head, then cover and decorate it to bring your character to life. Using sugar paste or modelling chocolate, you'll sculpt the body and add playful features that wobble with charm. Whether you're crafting a quirky creature or a stylized human, this course will guide you through every step—from structure to sweet success. Perfect for novelty cake lovers, character creators, and anyone who wants to add a little bounce to their baking!

Meet your Mentor

Hello, I’m Dawn Butler, the name behind Dinkydoodle. As a world-renowned cake artist and teacher, I’ve dedicated my career to inspiring and supporting cake makers of all levels.   Over the years, I’ve earned multiple gold medals in cake competitions, and in 2016, I proudly took home the highly coveted “Best in Show” prize at Cake International. I was also honoured as International “Cake Artist of the Year,” named one of the UK’s “Top Ten Cake Artists.”   More recently in 2024, I was inducted into the DMA’s Hall of Fame for my contributions to the sugar industry. But what I’m most proud of is the community we’ve built inside the Dinkydoodle Cake Academy.   Here’s something you might not know about me: I have dyslexia and ADHD. While some might see these as obstacles, I use them as superpowers. They help me break down complex techniques into their simplest forms, making it easier for anyone to follow along and achieve amazing results. You may spot the occasional spelling mistake, but I believe in being upfront and honest, and my students are always wonderfully supportive. If you’ve ever doubted your own abilities, or worried that learning something new might be out of reach, you’re in the right place. The Academy is a safe, encouraging space for everyone, myself included! I share my skills, expertise, and a good dose of fun, helping you build your confidence and creativity, one cake at a time. I can’t wait to see what you create!
