Elmo Cake & Cupcakes

April 9, 2009

I was really excited to make an Elmo cake and cupcakes for my niece's 2nd birthday. I found similar cupcakes online and made a special trip to Sarris' candy to buy orange and black Jelly Belly's and a special icing tip for the "hair". I did live in Canonsburg at the time, so it wasn't that CRAZY of a thing to do, but I do remember that I went to Sarris' and for the life of me couldn't figure out why it was so busy and why there were 2 cops directing traffic in front of the store. Haha....I eventually realized it was the Saturday before Easter....probably only the busiest day of the year to make a special trip to Sarris' for 30 orange and black jelly beans. However, pretty typical of me. Anyways, the cake and cupcakes turned out very cute and I was extremely pleased. =)

And, here are some more cupcakes:
