How to make an Elmo Cake

I was able to score a great deal on an Elmo cake pan. I just followed the direction on my box of cake, and threw it in the pan 🙂 Make sure if you are doing a character cake to spray it with a non-stick spray.
When the cake comes out of the oven, let it cool for quite a bit. After it has cooled, slice off any part that has puffed up. This way, when you pop the cake out, it will lay on a flat surface, making it less likely to crack.
Now it is time to cut out your fondant. Here is a recipe for fondant I found.
Make sure before you place your fondant, you put a thin layer of frosting down.
Once all your fondant is in place… it’s time to frost!!!
I used a star tip and did large “sloppy stars” to give Elmo a furry look.
Finally done! hehe. Time to bring the cake out to the birthday girl 🙂

Happy Birthday Little D!!! Make a wish! ( I am sure it was for Elmo to marry her 🙂 hehe )
