Well, my Elmo cake did not fare well today at all.
The head started to split so I took the eyes and nose off for the delivery.
Got to the park for the party and this HUGE pothole got in my way...Big bump! Get out and look in back--one leg (rice krispie treats) had split but the head was OK.
Walk to the "reserved" pavillion and their was another party going on (unreserved party). Almost got into a scrap with people. One lady called me "snooty" and I didn't even start it. I just told them that we had the pavillion reserved from 1:30 until 4:30 (it was 1:40) and we had the reservation papers to prove it. They said they were getting ready to cut the cake for their daughter's birthday and they weren't leaving. I then told them to ante-up to pay for half of the pavillion. They left about 15 minutes later.
Oh, back to cake story...fixed the leg, touched up frosting and placed eyes ond nose on cake. Everybody started arriving, walked to car. When I got back, my mom said the cake broke. All I could do was laugh...The entire face of Elmo broke and landed between his legs. I did get a picture before I left the house so my niece has a pic for the baby's scrapbook...It was his 1st BD. I will try to post the "after" pic but if it doesn't show, it will be in my photos.
No luck--really, one day, I will sit down and learn how to re-size.
I'm so sorry to hear this about your Elmo. I think it's in the air for him lately! I did a 3D Elmo two weekends ago (exactly the same as I had done and posted before) and had similar problems! His top lip kept falling off from the weight of his facial features- sounds like a botched plastic surgery case, huh?
I'm glad you were able to laugh it off and still enjoy the party.
Now...the people in your pavilion...that's a whole other story...glad you stood your ground!!! Bet their cake didn't look anywhere as nice as yours did!!!!
Same thing happen to my 1st elmo cake..
love your mini Schnauzer. I have one also name Houston Rollins Harrell...everyone calls him old man, because they say he reminds them of a old man....
