I made this cake for my cousins little girl, Aubree, who turned 2. Elmo is her favorite, so an Elmo cake it had to be! This guy took me at least 2 1/2 hours to bake and frost ~ he was a wee bit time consuming. :) But everyone loved him, so it was worth it. I made him using a white cake mix using the snickers cupcake recipe and frosted him with my mom's cake decorator frosting.
I grew up in a small town and am lucky enough to have two amazing grandmas and a wonderful mom in my family who taught me how to bake. My mom had a cake baking/decorating business when I was growing up so that is what fueled my interest in cakes...birthday cakes, wedding cakes, cupcakes ... you name it - I love them!
