Getting Ready for the Big Day!!!

My little baby turns 1 in a couple of weeks. In trying to keep the good habit of eating healthy, I decided to make Alex's First Cake! The Internet was a great place to find a few recipes for baby's first cake. So I tried a couple and found the one that we liked.

Alex LOVES the Sesame Street characters, so we decided to go with that theme. One of Alex's favorite is Elmo, so I ventured out to make an Elmo cake. I found that places like Michael's sells Elmo cake pans (didn't even know they existed), but after checking it out I thought the cake would be too big. So I bought a 6 in round pan. After hours of good reading in the net, I was able to get a pretty good idea on how to decorate it. For a beginer cake decorator like me, I'd say I did a pretty good job.

Then of course, Alex himself had the final approval... It was a success!!!!

In football terms... it was a TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!
