Here’s my attempt at a 3D Elmo Cake.
Body: I used the Wilton 3D teddy bear cake mold. I shaved off the ears and muzzle. Carved out a mouth where black frosting would go.
Eyes: I used gumpaste to roll the eyes and piped on black buttercream dots for the eyes. Attach with toothpicks.
Nose: I used gumpaste to mold Elmo’s nose and mixed in orage wilton gel to get the orange color. Attach with toothpick.
Elmo’s hair: I used the grass tip to pipe on red hair for elmo. Since Elmo’s so red, I used roughly 2.5 bottles of Wilton’s No Taste Red gel to achieve that dark red color.
Alphabet Blocks: I cut out blocks from fondant premade from Wilton’s. (buy this at Michaels) and piped on letters for the name.
This is an awesome cake!! I’ve seen your other ones on this site and you have great talents!
This is a great cake. So great actually that I decided to try it out too. It was a hit. Now when I did it I had a bit of a problem trying to get the eyes to stay out but it made it through the party for the birthday boy. Again thanks soooo much for posting this.
I recently started 2 make cakes. I’m making this cake 4 my nephew. He’s turning 1. Thank u this was very helpful. I know my nephew will love it!!!! <3
I just started this past year making birthday cakes for my granddaughters birthdays… I have been asked to make an Elmo cake for a friend of my daughter’s son’s first birthday … I am going to be creative and try this but going to make it on top of a sheet cake with presents to add a little extra punch…. Pray I don’t lose my mind…
