Easy Homemade Elmo 2nd Birthday Cake

Our 2 year old daughter loves Elmo and I was looking for easy ideas as we were shifting to a bigger apartment on her birthday weekend and this is my first time even icing a cake. When I browsed and found this site, I was quite thrilled. I got all my ideas for this Elmo 2nd Birthday Cake from this site only. Great site, by the way!!

I made a 9*13 orange eggless cake as we had some guests who don’t eat eggs. I used a butter cream icing to ice the cake and kept it in the fridge to set. I also made the eyes on a plate and made it set in the fridge. I made a dark chocolate icing for Elmo’s mouth and pupils as I didn’t have time to buy black icing. I took a picture of Elmo from the web, printed it out, placed it on the iced cake and traced the outline with a toothpick.

I placed the eyes on the cake. For the nose, I used an orange color Easter egg candy. I used red color icing along with star tip 27 for the body. Since I had made the outline with brown icing, I just had to fill it in. I also used sprinkles on the cake to give an effect.

The cake was a great hit! My daughter absolutely loved it. Thanks to this site for the great ideas.
