My friend Jen thinks that Barney is taking over the world. She believes that Barney and all of his kiddie followers are some kind of cult. I am here to tell her that's she's got it all wrong. Elmo and friends are the real cult. I can't get away from this guy!
So, my hairdresser's son turned 1 this weekend. While she was doing an amazing job on my hair one day, we started talking about what we do in our free time (I have free time?!) and I mentioned to her that I do cakes on the side. She asked me if I do kids cakes. Do I do kids cakes?! Those are my favorites! She asked if I could do her son's cake and I agreed. Then she told me what the birthday theme was.... Elmo. AGAIN. Again, I can't get away from him!

I've said it multiple times and I will sayit again, I don't like making the same cake twice. Since this was my 3rd Elmo/Sesame Street cake, I thought it would be a challenge to find a new cake design to try out. Surprisingly, it was pretty simple! Take a look:
Elmo
Cookie Monster
The bottom cakes were yellow cake with one cake filled with banana cream and the other with strawberry filling. The presents also had fondant accents. Elmo and Cookie monster were 3d made of yellow cake, buttercream, and fondant accents.
I also made a little smash cake for the birthday boy. Don't mind Elmo's football head. Sometimes when you do things free hand, it doesn't come out quite right. Ha! I thought he was pretty cute anyway!
Happy 1st Birthday Elliott! I hope you have great time at your party!
