For SpongeBob design:

  1. Take out the pan in the fridge.
  2. Cut the final product into squares. You can cut it in small, medium or large size squares.
  3. Draw two circles for SpongeBob’s eyeballs with the white icing.
  4. Get the blue icing and make the small part of the eyes inside the eyeballs.
  5. Take the pink icing and make the cheeks of SpongeBob by making two small circles each just below his eyeballs.
  6. With the black icing, make his eyelashes by drawing 3 lines each above the eyeballs.
  7. Use the same black icing to make the smiley face. Under the cheeks, draw a curved line connecting the two cheeks.
  8. Get the white frosting and make SpongeBob’s two front teeth. Draw two small front teeth at the center below of his smile.
  9. Scoop off the top of one lemon bar and put it in a piping bag.
  10. Draw a little circle in between of the cheeks for the nose.

This recipe is perfect since the lemon bars are very tart and the icing used for decorations are sweet. The icing will balance out the lemony flavor of the bar with its sugary taste. The final outcome of the lemon bars is excellent especially the texture of the top of the lemon bar because it is a bit spongy. Similar to SpongeBob’s physical appearance. This can be an activity for children who also like the cartoon character. It is a fun and easy recipe.
