I did this for my daughters 16th b-day. (yes she wanted Elmo). Everything turned out great at home. I had put a lot of work in this cake for her. I had to deliver the cake about an hour away from where I live and this was in August so you can imagine how hot it was! I had the perfect size box already at home to put the cake in. I had my grandson and my other daughter in the backseat as well. Needless to say Elmo was demolished, but the b-day girl had fun with it anyway.
