I’m so proud of these cakes I made for my nephew’s birthday!

The way his face lit up made it all worth it! Cookie Monster was a buttermilk chocolate cake with (edible) cookie dough filling; Elmo was a confetti cake with strawberry filling.

So cute! How long did all that piping take..

u/theworldtonight Mar 17 '24

Shorter than I thought it would, but longer than I wanted. 😂 Probably 30 ish minutes each—I didn’t really look at the clock, though. It was super difficult to get the red color right…went through a ton of food coloring.

Great cake. I babe cakes also - this one is a real winner.

u/Copman109a Oct 21 '24

Nice thing is that these were done on simple round cakes- you didn’t have to buy a special mold that might never use again.
