PIP-My attempt at Elmo cake balls

cokt · January 2010

So my niece's 3rd birthday is today so we are having a family dinner tonight. I thought I would attempt making cake ball for the first time as a treat and decided to go all out and make Elmo ones. I couldn't find what bakarella used for the eyes and mouth so mine turned out pretty creepy. Thankfully my target audience is 2 year old DS and my 3 year old niece, so hopefully they will like them :-)

I think they're super cute! Not creepy at all.

My dd will be 2 in a couple of weeks. She's sitting right next to me and as soon as I opened this post she started screaming, "Elmo! Elmo!"

So, if she's pretty much right in your target audience I don't think you'll have any problems at all, LOL.

Why can't a see a pic? How do they taste? I am thinking about making some for a shower I am doing.

I have a mac and post from Safari and for some reason that jacks up my PIP's and links. Anyway, glad they aren't too creepy for those who can see them! They taste OK-way too sweet for my taste, kind of fudgy. I used homemade chocolate bundt cake that I had made yesterday and homemade frosting for the balls. The decoration frosting was all store bought, so super sweet.

I had to C&P the post into firefox in order to see the pic. They are adorable and I think any little kid would know who they are supposed to be. Good job!
