Homemade Elmo Cake

This Elmo cake is a double layer, round, chocolate cake. I made coconut filling in between the layers. To frost I used buttercream frosting and mixed in beet juice red color to start then added the no taste red paste.

I made the frosting the day before and let the color set. After frosting the cake, I covered with red tinted coconut. I bought the eyes and face online but could have done them easily with frosting.
