Elmo cake !

My sisters friend wanted an Elmo cake for her nephews birthdays. They are turning 1 and 2! So I knew I couldn't just do the Elmo face on top of a sheet cake. I wanted to do something more show stopping. So I settled on the idea of a tier cake with a gum paste Elmo on top. My Elmo face, I thought, came out pretty well. But his body was mistaken for Budda hahahaha. But they loved it and even tried to dive face first into it when I set it up on the table!

The Cake: French vanilla layered with Chocolate Fudge cake
Frosted with cream cheese frosting
