This cake has a funfetti base . . . which is one of my favourite flavours! \u00a0Can you say . . . . “Mmmmm, cake scraps?!” \u00a0<\/p>\n
Cake scraps are the reason for the cardio . . \u00a0. and the best part of being a cake decorator . . . but, unfortunately, there has been WAY too many scraps, and WAY too little cardio for about the last year. \u00a0I still teach spinning at the gym, but, it’s not enough!! \u00a0I’ve really got to get my arse in gear. \u00a0I’ve become pathetic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And it has dyed vanilla buttercream. \u00a0Mr. Cookie Monster is sculpted out of fondant, and all of the cookies, Sesame Street sign, and the cookie jar, are all made out of fondant as well. \u00a0 Sesame Street has been around since I was a kid, and I remember with the glazed eyed fondness that one can only when looking back into the past. \u00a0Why is nothing as good as it was as a child?? \u00a0<\/p>\n
The movie was a grand experience and we were thoroughly enjoying the popcorn and pop (I assume our parents provided us with such delicacies) and the gripping plot line . . . until Big Bird was birdnapped!<\/p>\n \u00a0I can still recall my brother screaming out at the screen when Big Bird is put in a cage and driven away . . . I don’t remember why this animal cruelty occured, but I know he was singing a song about being blue (sad . . . because he is clearly yellow). \u00a0Sorry I spoiled the plot for you, you’ll get over it . . . if you had watched it in 1985, there would have been nothing for me to ruin. \u00a0<\/p>\n Anyway, \u00a0back to the cake . . .<\/p>\n To make Cookie Monster<\/span><\/strong> . . . I studied different pictures of Cookie Monster to figure out his shape and sizing. \u00a0The trickiest part I found were making his paws\/hands.<\/p>\n To make the Cookies<\/span><\/strong> . . . I used a piping tip to cutout and make both the larger cookie (Wilton Tip 12), and the small rounds (Wilton Tip 4) to represent chocolate chips. \u00a0<\/p>\n To make the Sesame Street sign<\/span><\/strong> . . . again, I studied pictures online of the outline of the sign, and let my hands take over. \u00a0If you want more of a guide to recreating this sign, I would suggest printing it out on your printer, and then cutting your fondant out according to the printed guide. \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nMy all time\u00a0favourite Sesame Street character though has to be Big Bird<\/strong>, and in 1985<\/strong> (yes, I’m going there . . . and I’m old) my brother, who was 3 at the time, and I, who would have been 6, were taken to the **MOVIE THEATRE** (big deal back then) to watch Follow that Bird<\/a>. \u00a0My brother was as cute as a little boy can be . . . bright blonde hair, fingers in his mouth . . . the literal golden child.<\/p>\n
