123/365 The Elmo Cake

Gabrielle insisted on an Elmo cake for her second birthday.  I tried to talk her into something that I thought would be easier to decorate (since I'm not exactly a cake decorating expert), but no, she insisted on Elmo.  I'll admit that the decorating itself took me at least 3 hours, but the smile on her face when she saw her cake was well worth it.

Here she is getting ready to enjoying the last of it at a family birthday celebration.
