Elmo First Birthday Cake

Here is a collaboration of 2 minds. Kristin and I work together and during our breaks, we would talk about the perfect cake for Scarlett! The theme shifted from circus to elmo. Either way, i was happy to work with the theme and happier that I was able to create this for baby Scarlett. Happy Happy birthday sweet sweet scarlett! Vanilla cake with chocolate smbc filling. Cake frosted in ganache and covered in Fondant. All decors were hand cut. (yes i do own a cricut machine but it has been 2 years and it's still in the box) ** a first - 4 in vanilla swiss meringue buttercream covered smash cake. no fondant except for the decors - i almost died. ahahahah thankfully, the upside down method worked for me. Also, sorry for the not so nice piping of the border. I do not know how to pipe much except on cupcakes. LOL
