Sesame Street Birthday

Kids love, love, love Sesame Street.. so this Sesame Street cake (with Elmo as hero) was perfect for a 2nd birthday party. There was a 10" and 8" cake, both vanilla butter with strawberry buttercream filling... so yummy.

The cake came with one single cupcake, complete with a huge Elmo topper. See.. while the party was on Saturday, the birthday girl's actual birthday was Sunday. So this cute cupcake was saved to enjoy on her actual birthday.

I really enjoyed making the cake and there is so much to love about it.

It looked jazzy from the front AND jazzy from the back. The "clouds" and "trees" were made from vanilla buttercream.

Here is a close-up of those lovely buttercream trees. I loved how they turned out.

Our hero Elmo!

Here's Elmo again, this time hanging out with the birthday girl's name

Cookie Monster! I love his bitten cookie and cookie bits in his mouth.

Big Bird! There is no Sesame Street without this friendly foul.

Out friend Bert...owner of the unibrow... Al B, sorry, he got you beat!

Ernie! Smiling and sunny, as usual.

And Dorothy...you can't have Elmo without Dororthy.  She was dusted in gold and even had tiny scales.

It all made for a perfect Sesame Street birthday!
