Second 1st Birthday Cake

I got to make another first birthday cake this month! My husband's godmother's daughter's little boy turned one last week and they asked for Elmo sitting on a stack of presents.

So I made Elmo out of red fondant first. He was a little creepy for a while because his head and arms and body were all separate. But once he was all together he looked great! A little fat, but still Elmo!


I used nice bright primary colours and big shapes for the presents


I made a little smash cake for Ethan as well (background)


Ethan seemed to really like his cake. He stared at it for a long time


And then he REALLY got into the smash cake! He ate quite a bit of it and wore even more! It was very fun to watch him smash that cake apart!
