Okay so I'm trying to do an elmo cake and I'd like to make the Elmo out of RKT. I know this may sound silly but can somebody help with tips on how to make him stay 'put together' if I try to keep him about 7 inches tall or is that too tall? Please help!!
Have you used RKT before? I've used them a few times and have learned that they need to be crunched down really good, like squished all together. I would put all of the elmo pieces together using melted chocolate or royal icing - but make sure you dowel each piece too. For example, if you're going to put his arm on, stick a dowel in the top of the arm portion, cover the RKT around the dowl with melted chocolate or royal icing, and then stick it together. Then I would probably cover him with chocolate ganche (maybe a .5:1 ratio) so the ganache gets hard and holds the entire thing together. Then buttercream or fondant over that ![]()
