I took a cake decorating class about 4 years ago so that I could make cakes for my kids' birthdays and Emery was old enough this year to appreciate it. Elmo was Kevin's idea, so we went to Wal-mart and bought some coloring paste and fondant and printed off a picture of someone elses Elmo cake from Google images. We colored some fondant pieces black and orange and made a TON of red frosting. Thank goodness the Lukes were here to help us. It took all four of us about 3 1/2 hours to make it (and I had baked the cake earlier that morning!). Needless to say, I don't think I'll ever do it again by myself!
Here is the completed cake:

Wow, Erin. I'm so impressed. That is an adorable cake. I bet it was fun to see the Lukes. I bet Heather looks so cute, pregnant. You look great too, post delivery. I'm impressed. I hope I can look that awake and cheerful, too. Anyway, have a good one.
Erin!

You did such a good job on that cake! That is talent. My boy, Caleb, would have loved an Elmo cake like that. Plus, you look so good for just having a baby!!
Very impressive! You are always doing very creative things. Happy Birthday Emery!
How fun! Great cake job! How did you make the nose and eyes? Kailee loves Elmo too. We need to see more baby pics!
Just wanted you to know that I am looking at your blog today. I don't think I ever congratulated you on the new baby. Well, Congratulations! Your girls are adorable, and the cake is very impressive!
