This weekend I did a big Sesame Street themed cake for a 1 yr old. It is a 3 tiered cake built with 14, 10 and 6 inches round cakes. I picked 3 popular characters from Sesame Street and made cake toppers all out of marshmallow fondant. I took the colors red, blue and yellow from these 3 characters and used it for the fondants to cover the 3 tiers.
The top floor is occupied by baby Big Bird and his 'crib' is decorated with lots of stars. It was a personal request that I use lots of stars and make the cake very colorful.
Baby Cookie Monster is on the second floor, happily eating his chocolate chip cookies. This cake is decorated with colorful gifts all around.
Baby Elmo is on the first floor with his feeding bottle. I used the Sesame Street sign board to display the birthday baby's name. This tier is all about a beautiful, sunny day at Sesame Street :)

Most people do cake toppers with gum paste (This is a mixture of sugar, starch and gelatin. It's what many of those realistic looking flowers, fruits and ribbons are made of on a wedding cake), which is technically "edible" but once it is dried, it becomes rock solid and not really "edible". So I opted to make these out of marshmallow fondant. It is a bit of a challenge doing figures out of marshmallow fondant due to its texture and the fact that working with sugar is not easy. But it is worth the time and effort to see the kids very excited as they bite off Big Bird's beak, eyes, head etc. made out of fondant. Yeah, while the adults enjoyed a piece of cake, the kids were fighting over Elmo's feeding bottle and Cookie Monster's chocolate chip cookies :) I sooo wanted them myself :DWatch the Sesame Street cake toppers:
Very Nice and Yummy!! Good Work and wonderful presentation!! Kepp it UP.

ReplyDeleteYou won't have problems finding an excellent color palette. These are evident in richly jeweled tones, colorful majolica, richly colored porcelain and fringed lampshades. If the lights are too dim, employees might have a difficult time doing their tasks, especially should their work involve a lot of reading and writing or any similar task.
