Elmo Birthday Cake


I ventured out on my son's last birthday to make him an Elmo Cake.  Wilton has a nice mold for the cake which can be found at most Michael's.  This was definitely a lot of fun, but oh was it a lot of work.  But DO NOT be discouraged.  It's just tedious not difficult.

I got some ideas for the cupcakes from this site.  I made my own eyes from white royal icing a few days beforehand.  I just piped circles onto waxed paper and once dry I then tinted more black and piped the pupils.  The face and nose were iced with the same frosting I used on the cake.  I made the mouths from chocolate melts.  I had a few break in the release so make sure you make extras. 

If you are planning on making the cake as well, find the complete instructions here an Wilton.com
