Elmo in the park party!

Charlie loves Elmo and he loves being at the park. What better way to celebrate turning 4 than with his two favorite things - Elmo and a park. Throw in some friends and family, a yummy Elmo cake, ice cream, and a beautiful day and the only thing that could make this party any better would be if Elmo himself showed up! Yep - we had that covered too! Happy 4th birthday my sweet and amazing boy!

Party hat and favor bags filled with treats and fun little goodies. I made both to match the Elmo theme:

Elmo, Elmo, Elmo!

The Elmo is RKT covered in fondant.

Elmo (Bryan from Spark of the Party) was absolutely fantastic and so animated! He was so much fun for the children, climbing on the playscape, playing with the kids, looking at gifts, swinging the kiddies around. I highly recommend Bryan for anyone looking for a character rental in CT. This was truly one of the best days of Charlie's life so far, in large part due to an awesome Elmo coming to his party!

Elmo and Cookie Monster Cupcakes (and 'how to' info)

I needed to make something for an MS fundraiser and my almost 4yr old suggested we incorporate Elmo and Cookie Monster into whatever we made. So, Elmo and Cookie Monster cupcakes!

These were incredibly easy and are perfect for a toddler baking project!

If you want to re-create them, here is what you'll need:

Cupcakes

Food coloring - blue and red and black and orange

Chocolate chip cookies

Wilton white candy melts

Frost some cupcakes with red frosting and some with blue frosting. Add the wilton candy melts for the eyes, add some black eyeballs, orange nose and black mouth for elmo. Break a cookie in half and use that for the mouth for cookie monster. That's it!! Done!

Elmo & Sesame Street - Happy Birthday Lydia!

If you ask Lydia how old she is, she'll tell you: "I'm TWO!" Like every two year old I know (mine included), she is a big fan of Elmo. Her mom wanted a Sesame street birthday cake, with the focus on Elmo. Lydia's cake is my signature white cake with cookie cream filling and vanilla buttercream frosting. The matching cupcakes were almond flavored, decorated as Cookie Monster & Elmo.
