Imagine a teen girl, who’s also a cheerleader fighting crime on the side, with her clumsy best friend with a smarter pet naked mole rat, a genius kid technician who, collectively, takes on an evil genius with a big ego and a sexy sidekick who happens to be an anti-hero. Whew! If you watched this cartoon show growing up you should read this article for it's packed with fun, as we turn some of the most loved characters from the Kim Possible cartoon series into desserts!
Kim’s character is as impressive as she is, usually, the “cheerleader and popular” type of girl doesn’t get to play the hero, but rather a scorned villain. But Kim manages to balance her school life, studying, cheerleading as well and fighting crime on the side. A honey cake is perfect for her, as it is as versatile and impressive as she is. The moist, golden layers infused with honey represent her slick adaptability in any situation, while the natural sweetness mirrors her kind heart. Why not try making a honey cake recipe and also learn the story of the honey cake too?
Wade's literal introduction to the cartoon is Kim’s “Hello Wade!” and he is the techie behind all of Kim’s missions. A brownie is perfect for him, for it is a dense powerhouse of chocolate goodness, much like his character that oozes genius. The rich, and darkness of chocolate also represents the depth of his knowledge, while the fudginess of the brownie symbolizes how he always comes through in sticky situations to Kim’s aid. Sometimes brownies come with chunks of chocolate or nuts inside them, which stands for the hi-tech gadgets he invents. If Wade is your favorite character, why not try this best homemade fudge brownie recipe?
The name is a clear indication of Ron’s nature, he is the opposite of Kim’s sortedness. Just like him, a cupcake can be a mess of flavors and a different feel to them, much like his personality. Let’s pick a classic vanilla cupcake for him, that portrays his simple boy-next-door nature, albeit quite clumsy and not exactly crush-worthy. But frost this simple cupcake and it transforms into a treat worthy of sharing the table with regal desserts too. Scatter some sprinkles and you have Ron’s unexpected moments of brilliance in his "Ron-ness." This cupcake might look a bit odd, but it's surprisingly delicious, so you should try this easy cupcake recipe too.
The “Mad Scientist” and Kim’s mortal arch nemesis, Dr. Drakken’s only mission is world domination, and a chocolate pudding is as dark and dramatic as his villainous ambitions. The smoothness of the pudding represents his ego, while occasional lumps, a noob mistake, symbolize the flaws in his evil schemes, that help team Possible take him down. Just as Drakken's plans are often wobbly, a pudding also tends to be without form and needs a vessel to thicken chill rather, something Dr Drakken lacks. A chocolate pudding feels like a treat that thinks it's more sophisticated than it is – much like this bumbling mad scientist.
A perpetually annoyed look, bordering on boredom plastered on her face, Shego is technically an antagonist although she's also an anti-hero occasionally. That easily makes her a chocolate cookie, with the cocoa in it standing for her sharpness and bite to her tone. This is especially for the dark chocolate, which gives the cookies an intense, slightly bitter edge that matches her cynical worldview. These cookies are crisp on the outside but have a softer center, much like Shego's alter ego that hints at quite the complex personality. Definitely try this eggless chocolate cookies recipe the next time you do a marathon of this show.
Just like Rufus, the naked mole rat, pet to Ron, fudge bars are exactly small like him, but packed with flavor, just like how the little mole-rat can be useful in his master’s missions. The rich, chocolate flavor represents Rufus's value he adds to the team, and his small size gives him the ability to squeeze into tight spots on missions. If the fudge comes with a nutty crunch, that definitely stands for his surprising intelligence and problem-solving skills, which are sharper than the clumsy Ron.
Monkey Fist is obsessed with martial arts and also the mystical arts and artifacts, when he’s not his monkey alter ego, he’s Monty with his British ego. For the monkey villain, a banana pudding is perfect standing for his blend of refinement and primal energy, much like the man himself. The smooth vanilla base represents his aristocratic background, while the bananas symbolize his obsession with monkeys and powers. This dessert is deceptively simple but packs quite a flavor, reflecting Monkey Fist's multifaceted nature as both a nobleman and a crazed villain.
