Christie Perkes'
Elmo Birthday Cake
Pattern from coloring book (attached)
1 - 9 inch round, layered cake frosted.
Butter Cream Frosting:
2 sticks butter (can use 1/2 shortening)
4 cups powdered sugar
2 Tbls milk
1 tsp vanilla
(I made this recipe 1 1/2 times because I made 1/2 into chocolate to frost the cake. Add 4-6 Tbls of cocoa and 1 T. milk to make part of it into chocolate)

Use attached pattern of Elmo's face (or call Christie Perkes for a copy)
Cut out Elmo, his nose, and mouth (leave eyes)
Set Elmo pattern on cake and trace outline, nose, and mouth with a toothpick.
Use writing tip to trace black outline around face, eyes, nose, mouth (fill in mouth)
Use star tip to complete cake with white for eyes, orange for nose, and red for face.
Do a fun border with whatever is left in your tubes.
Have fun and remember, it is for a child who won't care if it's perfect!!
** I have the Wilton colors and a couple tips/bags if you want to borrow them.
Happy Birthday Ava!!!
