I made this cake for my friend's daughter. Traced Elmo from a coloring book, cut it out and then outlined it on the cake. One of these days I will try the buttercream transfer. Cake is Fr. Van. w/ bc icing. Yellow is a little brighter than I wanted (thought it looked like McDonald's with the red and yellow.) I was assured by psurrette that it did not. Both Mother and daughter liked it and that's what counts! Thanks for looking!
