Elmo 3D

Elmo 3D on Cake Central

I had a request for a 3D Elmo, but don't have a Wondermold pan like I saw in directions from others (lilrev), so I constructed this one in the same manner as my Hello Kitty cake (6" round, 3 halves of ball pan, plus 4 cupcakes). Next time I will carve the head a bit to for a more oval look. Arms and legs are constructed of fondant tubes held in with mini dowels. You really can't see his thumbs from this angle, but they were cute. Base is a single layer 10" covered in fondant and hand painted.

Thanks for your compliments! If you like, I could send you a set of pictures of the construction process. Type your email below and I'll get them to you asap! And as far as 3D goes...You just show that cake who's boss! You'll do GREAT!!! I think 3D just LOOKS a bit harder than it actually is.
