Good luck! I bet it will be very cute. They only turn one once, so I splurged too! We have ours next weekend with a hello kitty theme and I can't wait!
I agree-- you only have your first birthday once and it's more special than all the rest! We are doing sesame street too (I wanted to do just Cookie Monster but caved and did cooke monster and friends since there aren't many accessories with just cookie monster on them) and we spent a bit of money on his cake as well!
We got the same baker who did our wedding cake and my baby shower cake... her cake is to die for and she did great work on the little figurine on my shower cake!
Here is the design for LO's cake... the topper is going to be in cake, not fondant!
