The reason behind this Elmo fondant cake topper – The other day I had a phone call asking if I could make a birthday cake with an Elmo theme – it was for someone who had planned to make the cake herself but things had changed at the last minute and she just did not have the time.
I had to say no as I was already fully booked and could not squeeze another order in no matter how much I wanted to help.
I then received another call filled with hope that I could at least make the Elmo fondant cake topper for her so I said yes and I am glad I did because it made me realise that really it was just a variation on my video tutorial on how to make a shaggy teddy bear.
The only changes I made were to make the arms and legs a little longer and squash his head a little so it was elongated slightly. I painted the inside of his mouth with black food colouring everything else is the same as the tutorial which is very easy but I do have to warn you making the fur does take a little time and it seems all the bears I make these days are the shaggy version but I only have myself to blame as I sit there snipping away!!
Elmo is very popular for birthdays so I hope this is useful.
Bye for now, Michelle Rea
