This was made for someone special. Elmo is made from rice krispies and covered with bc, eyes and nose are fondant. Sitting on 8" 2 layer vanilla then situated on dowels placed into 2 layer 18" square van/choc. covered w/bc. I used crayon candles and misc decorations to add more. Elmo was as big as the birthday boy. This was so fun. I was so excited to see how he reacted to this one.
