I have twin boy/girl grandchildren and each year I have made cakes that have coordinating characters. This year was an Abby Cadabby Character Birthday Cake and Elmo from Sesame Street. An Elmo pan was easy to find, but I wanted an Abby head to coordinate with his and there wasn’t one. I noticed one day … Read more

SO we mix-matched ideas we found, and just decorated it by hand on our own. The Ernie Birthday Cake was a regular chocolate cake, and we made … Read more
This Cookie Monster cake was made with (from the bottom up) two large round pans, two medium round pans, one small round pan and a “bowl” pan. I borrowed all of the supplies from a friend so I can’t remember the brand/measurements/etc., but I assume they were Wilton pans. I coated each pan with cake … Read more
It’s our Elli’s first birthday and for some reason only Big Bird from Sesame Street would do (for me). The Elli Big Bird Cake Design is a flat pan version of a chiffon cake recipe, tasty but simple.
