How to make an Elmo Cake

  1. 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.cake batter in an Elmo shaped pan
  2. 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.large knife cutting off extra cake from top of pan
  3.  Now it is time to cut out your fondant. Here is a recipe for fondant I found. top down picture of circle shapes cut out of white and orange fondant
  4. Make sure before you place your fondant, you put a thin layer of frosting down.frosting on the nose of elmo cake and black fondant placed on his mouth elmo cake with fondant eyes, nose and mouth placed on elmo cake
  5. Once all your fondant is in place… it’s time to frost!!!
  6. I used a star tip and did large “sloppy stars” to give Elmo a furry look.frosting the outer edges of elmo cake with piping bag and red frosting
