This is my 2nd attempt at the little red monster. The first Elmo I made was for my own son. This one is for a customer and he has to travel for an hour in the car, so my biggest issue was making him really stable. Its a white chocolate mud cake with raspberry swirl, torted with white chocolate ganache. I used a dolly tin on a, 8" and carved his body. His arms are fondant, legs are offcuts of cake and his head is styrofoam. He was covered in White ganache, and then his fur was made with royal icing. He's sloid as a rock now and will travel even the bumpiest road with ease! I love the white chocolate mud cake it's so nice and moist, but solid to decorate.
