Maybe beef up the arms a little? That would be my only change if even that. It looks great.
That is my only suggestion as well. They seem to nearly be level with the table. A layer or two of buttercream "fur" will bring them right up!
Great work! And I love the idea!
As to pricing, too many things come into play for me to begin to tell you what I think you should charge.
i think u did a wonderful job!! i agree w/the others that the arms need to be bigger..besides that this is soooooo cute!!
this is a great cake. If you wanted to you could outline the M&Ms in corresponding colors
Great Cake!!! I agree with the arms needing to be bigger. I would also put some cookie crumbs and scribbles on the top but not too much since space is limited. Also I don't know if this is do-able but I would make the bottom border maybe green or yellow to make it pop
Maybe the birthday kids age in the middle? Right between Elmo and Cookie...
looks like it weighs a ton...very cute!
Careful moving that baby!
as for pricing, think about how many it feeds (or how many boxes of mix used---each one feeds twelve if using party sizes)and multipy that by at least $3 per person.
For example: two boxes x 12 servings= 24 servings at $3 per person would be $72.
Lots of extra work and you should be paid for your skill.

That cake is totally awesome...If you hadn't ask for us to look at the cake to see if it needed anything I wouldnt have never noticed, but I do agree I'd make the arms a tad bigger, they kinda look like they are kinda "in" the cake as they are, and use more color in the top border, maybe yellow???
But other than that you did a outstanding job!!!

This is totally adorable .
From looking at the picture of the arm's closest to me, they look a little flat from one angle, but looking at the arms farthest from the camera they look like they are more built up. It might be an illusion because of the camera angle. I think your arms might be built up more then everyone thinks cause of the pic's angle.?
I definately agree about putting/adding another color along/ or on top of border, also the cookie crumb idea on the table would help it from looking to plain. But even if you dont change a thing this is still an awesome cake! Great job. 
I have to agree about the arms. They need to stick up a little more above the table. They don't match the body. Other than that, I think it's great!
Wow,thank you guys.I didn't think I would get this many replies.See this is why I love this place.
Well,I did build the arms a little bit more.I just had it delivered.And on the way to there it seemed that Cookie monster had attacked the Elmo.Elmo's head in the back had cracked ,not too much though.I charged only $40 since it wasn't "in the perfect condition".But boy was I happy to get it out of my care.Thank you all for your help and sugestions.You guys are great.
