My Elmo Cake Story

A friend of mine contacted me on Facebook a couple of days before the date of the birthday party. Seems that the home cake decorator she had hired a few weeks ago to make her little boys 1st birthday cake had canceled on her that morning. Apparently this home cake decorator lives close to my friends house & my friend didn't want to bother me with her kids cake.lol

When I finally called her, she was relieved & happy that I obliged by accepting to make the cake. In a way it was good for me to take this opportunity to practice & see what new things I would learn on this journey.

Sesame Street Character

Wow she wants Elmo, she wanted me to use colors that pertain to a little baby boy like yellow, blue, white and of course gotta use red for Elmo. I decided to mold Elmo out of gumpaste, it came out looking weird so I put it away and decided to do a plaque with running royal icing of Elmo. On the afternoon before the day of delivering the cake, got to re-try shaping Elmo again...after a while it actually looked cute and a baby Elmo was born..lol

He liked it

Baby & mother were very pleased with the cake. It sure is exciting to see people's happy expressions when they are presented with their cake. Usually its more than what they were expecting.

Thanks,
