Cool Homemade Elmo Birthday Cake Using the Wilton Stand Up Cuddly Bear Cake Pan

I made this Elmo birthday cake using the Wilton Stand Up Cuddly Bear cake mold. I made the bear and the top square cake using one pound cake recipe and one yellow cake recipe mixed together. *Don’t just use yellow cake, because the cake will not be solid enough to stay together**

The bottom rectangle cake was a chocolate cake. I cut off the ears and reshaped the head to look more like Elmo. The red “hair” on Elmo was white frosting pinched out with a Wilton tip and pulled until the frosting made a long drip that looks like hair.

Be careful to keep the icing VERY COOL or it will start to melt and become a mess. Also make sure you make at least 2 batches of icing before you start and dye it all the same. If you don’t you will have many different red patches and it wont look as good. Trust me, I am talking from experience. The eyes were made with ping pong balls, and the nose was 1/2 of an egg shell that I colored with food coloring dye.

This cake was a lot of fun to make, and my friends son WENT CRAZY when he saw it for the first time. It was a lot of time and a lot of work, but the look on his face made it all worth it. I hope you have as much fun making it as I did.
