I was inspired by this website and all the fantastic photos on it, to actually do this Upsy Daisy Birthday Cake. I bought 3 Tesco small cake mix packs and duly made all 3, in Pyrex dishes (as someone else had suggested on here). If anything they came out too flat, but I thought hey-ho … Read more
My friend’s little girl loves Elmo so I found a picture out of a coloring book and traced it on the cake with piping gel. I used Wilton’s buttercream icing recipe and colors. Black gel to fill in the mouth. This was my very first cake so I had a hard time with smoothing the … Read more
For our Son’s second birthday we had a Sesame Street theme. He was so in love with Elmo so we bought a Wilton Elmo shaped cake pan. The closer it was getting to his special day, he was getting more and more in love with the other characters so that’s when we knew that we … Read more
I used the Wilton’s Elmo cake pan for my Elmo Birthday Cake. I mixed a package of red jello in with the red icing so that it would taste better. A friend gave me the idea to use the jello. I baked a set of cupcakes. I put red stars all over the cupcake. I … Read more
I have twin boy/girl grandchildren and each year I have made cakes that have coordinating characters. This year was an Abby Cadabby Character Birthday Cake and Elmo from Sesame Street. An Elmo pan was easy to find, but I wanted an Abby head to coordinate with his and there wasn’t one. I noticed one day … Read more
It was my nephew’s first birthday and I wanted him to have his own cake to make a mess of, so I made him a Cookie Monster Birthday Cake which was the theme of the party. I used 1 Pyrex bowl, and circle cake pans. For the head I baked two halves in the Pyrex … Read more
I used the Wilton 3D cuddly bear cake pan for this Cookie Monster cake. I used the extra batter to create the large chocolate chip “cookie” he is sitting on. Once cool, I cut off the cuddly bears face to create a flatter surface for Cookie monster’s mouth. I also cut off the ears, relocated … Read more
This Elmo Birthday Cake is the second decorated cake I have ever made, so I was worried. I used an oval cake pan for the head and king sized muffin tin to make the eyes and nose. I just used Wilton’s buttercream icing and regular chocolate cake. Red is the worst color to try to … Read more
While this Elmo cake didn’t turn out exactly as I had pictured in my mind, I was still pretty happy with the end result. You need: 1. A triple recipe (approx) of rice krispies treats (marshmallows, butter and rice krispies) 2. 1 8×8 cardboard square and 1 8″ round cardboard 3. straws 4. fondant in … Read more
Benjamin’s first birthday was coming, and like most 1-year-olds, he was obsessed with Sesame Street and Ernie. We looked, but couldn’t find the “just right” cake for him. SO we mix-matched ideas we found, and just decorated it by hand on our own. The Ernie Birthday Cake was a regular chocolate cake, and we made … Read more
This Cookie Monster cake was made with (from the bottom up) two large round pans, two medium round pans, one small round pan and a “bowl” pan. I borrowed all of the supplies from a friend so I can’t remember the brand/measurements/etc., but I assume they were Wilton pans. I coated each pan with cake … Read more
It’s our Elli’s first birthday and for some reason only Big Bird from Sesame Street would do (for me). The Elli Big Bird Cake Design is a flat pan version of a chiffon cake recipe, tasty but simple. The difficulty is working out how to cut it, but after downloading a picture of Sesame Street’s … Read more
