Yes, I know elmo looks a little chubby, but that is just the way he turned out. He was supposed to be sitting on a potty, but he was to fat for it and it fell over. At least my daughter liked it! I joked that this was elmo's overweight cousin, Guedo.
This was a really fun cake to make!! With this cake, I finally got the hang of how to use fondant. I think that it was a hit with all of the fancy girls at my neice's party.
I made this cake before the wedding cake to practice with the fondant. My sister and I figured how to make some really pretty fondant roses and daisies. This cake actually turned out pretty well.
I made this cake in august of '08 for my cousin. The cake cost about $200 to make. It was red velvet, vanilla, and devils food. It was quite time consuming and difficult, but I really learned a lot about fondant and how hard it can be to transfer cakes in the car. (Tip for the next wedding cake: refrigerate before transporting!)
I started decorating cakes when I was 16 and have never stopped! I have always wanted some place to display all my cake pics and figured that this would be a great place to do it.
