i absolutely love this cake. you did a fabulous job!!!

Awesome job! I know Jack was excited when he saw Elmo!

WOW! What a great job!! Amazing!! :D

this is really supper cute, great job!

AWESOME!

This is gorgeous , Do tell please

Thanks for all of the nice comments. The head was made with the Elmo pan. I used the red chocolate melts and the white. I had to tint the black, and orange. Use the candy color tints only, if not your candy will not set, thanks ginamig for that! I used two plastic dowels on the back, it will need that much support.

oops, didn't finish. I used a total of 10 plastic dowels in between the layers too and a wooden dowel down the center of both, this cake had to be transported 30 miles. I forgot to mention I used buttercream, the only accents that are fondant are the hands and the bursts. I made the ball border from thickened buttercream, I had so much left I didn't feel like tinting fondant! I was tired :oops: Let me know if there are any other questions!

What a great job!... it looks absolutely perfect. Im sure he was "tickled" haha

i absolutely adore this cake. this is a must try!!!!! :wink:

This is fantastic!!!

Wow!!! So amazing. I never would have thought to make the head like that. What a neat idea.

You did it exactly like the book. Great Job! I plan to do this exact cake myself. Let me know of any tips that would help me. Please.

I love the idea of elmo head. I would love to try to make this cake, how thick is the elmo head?

The Elmo head is probably 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick
