Elmo So Big Cake

Elmo So Big Cake on Cake Central

Ok, my first attempt at a FBCT cake. All was good, but the top did crack a bit as I didn't quite line up the top of the cake exactly with the transfer and when I tried to slide it over a 1/4, it broke a wee bit. Otherwise it turned out well despite the underlying cake being a BEAR to frost! It was a delicious chocolate cake layered with buttercream chocolate filling and strawberry jam, but... the edges were very uneven and so trying to get a smooth coat without crumbs took me like an hour!

This is from that "so big" book! LOL It is Wilton's Golden Yellow for the background, no taste red for elmo and the orange is plain old orange also from wilton. Hope that helps! I literally just laid a sheet protector over the picture and traced it - so easy

Love this one! My son's favorite book is Elmo's "So Big". If you don't mind me asking, what colors/brand did you use to get that yellow orange background color?
