Elmo's Alphabet Cake
Like most 2 year old's, my son is an Elmo fanatic. So what else could I do for his birthday but to make an Elmo's Alphabet Cake? I got the idea for this cake from another mother on this site but put my own touches on it. My son is learning the alphabet so I thought I'd put letters on it.
The base of the cake is a 12x18 sheet cake (which takes 4 cake mixes) and Elmo's face is the Elmo cake pan by Wilton (which takes 1 cake mix). I made both cakes 2 day's before the party, refrigerating the large one and freezing Elmo (large one wouldn't fit in my freezer).
The next day I decorated it with butter cream icing, smoothing it out on the base cake. I used a large star tip for Elmo's face and did every letter in the alphabet around the bottom. Make sure you make at least 5 batches of icing for this cake.
I thought it would take me a long time to decorate but it ended up only taking a couple of hours. I have a nursing baby so I had to keep stopping. I refrigerated the cake over night and it was really moist. Everyone loved it. Especially my son!
