Elmo Birthday Cake and Banner Using the Cricut and Cricut Cake and Cups Decorated with Vinyl

Elmo Cake
Dusty celebrated his 3rd birthday and of course who doesn't love Elmo?
I made this cake for his party using the 1996 Wilton Elmo Party Pan where Elmo is wearing a party hat and holding a piece of cake. Well since it was a jungle theme I changed the party hat to a safari hat. The cake piece I used the binoculars instead. Elmo was holding balloons and I put the map in the other hand. The map was cut from the Cricut Cake using the Paper Dolls cartridge cut at 2 1/2. I made all my own fondant and frosting's. The red frosting I started a week in advance increasing the intense color each day. The green leaves were all cut from Life Is A Beach cartridge at various sizes up to the 3 1/4.  The frosting tips are  16, and 72 and 2. I dyed the fondant with Leaf green from Wilton.


The animals were cut from Animal Kingdom. Too too cute!! Always love that cartridge.
I used the Wilton black food writers for the eyes and the details.

The map was cut from Paper Dolls Cartridge at 9 1/4. 

Close up of the leaves on the side they were all around cut from Life is a Beach Cartridge.
Everyone LOVED Elmo! THANK YOU CRICUT CAKE!!!!

The banner was cut from the Elmo's Party Cartridge at 10.
The Sesame Street Font Cartridge was used to cut the alphas at 6 1/4.
The heads of the animals was cut at 2 3/4  using the Animal Kingdom Cartridge.
And of course the leaves Life is a Beach.



We had the party as a pool party in my backyard at our new and in making of the outdoor kitchen.

We (me and Alexis) made the cups for the party, the children loved them.
Alexis went to every Dollar General around to get enough! Love ya Lex!



We were all so pleased with the cups. Using the Elmo's Party Cartridge and vinyl.




Hello and Welcome to the Elmo Party I had for my three year old Dusty. All the details are under the pictures. Everyone had a super blast and making all the goodies for the party was just as much fun!

Recipe #14 Putting on the Ritz and a Cricut Cake Cover


Finished and ready for gift giving

Yummy!!!

Ingredients for Putting on the Ritz

Chop chocolate into small piece using a knife then microwave to melt

sandwich peanut butter between two Ritz crackers

Dip sandwich Ritz crackers into melted chocolate

sprinkle with colored sprinkles of choice for a festive look the children will love it also great fine motor skills

allow to cool until chocolate hardens (you can freeze until hard) then serve or store in freezer until ready to serve place in an airtight container

Okay...so I gave Cooper the bowl to lick (it was not much at all)
he used every finger licking one at a time.

The cover I made for the Cricut Cake which fits the colors of my studio kitchen
        Hello again...it seems to get later and later everyday...but yet I can't wait to post just to tell you these exciting fun EASY recipes. I just have to wait until everyone is in bed here lately, even closer to the Christmas it seems I have more and more to do....I know everyone does for the fact!! Today's recipe #14...yikes only 11 days now until Christmas.....my oh my and I have so much I wanna share...well today is a fun super easy one and yet a fantastic snack, well to some extent. This one I have been making for many many moons and always a big hit whether at a party or just an afternoon snack. They can be used from elegant to down home hoe down.
Putting on the Ritz
2 sleeves of Ritz cracker
1 cup of peanut butter no need to measure just spread on and sandwich
1 whole bark of chocolate (white or dark)
Wilton sprinkles or choice
Chop chocolate into small pieces using a knife and place in microwave safe dish, spread peanut butter onto crackers sandwich style, melt chocolate in microwave starting at 1 minute then 30 seconds then 15 second intervals stirring between each cycle of cooking. Once melted stir well at this stage you could even add flavoring oils if you chose to...I don't on these usually but have added  peanut butter oil flavoring but really no need.  You can use candy dipping tongs but trust me your fingers work just fine and the children will like that too...lol! Now lay on tray or Parchment paper sprinkle with sprinkles of choice. Can place in freezer to harden or just sit on counter until chocolate is firm. Package for gift giving or enjoy!! Super easy!! 
       The little boxes for gift giving are from Michael's (store brand type) they fit perfect in and look nice. Real inexpensive. Let me know if you bloggers in blogdom are trying any of these yummy recipes..it sure brightens my day!!! Thanks for the emails too!! :o)
        The Cricut Cake cover I made tonight after I made dinner, Sushi...my favorite!! It took less than no time to make and the fabric I had for ages in my stash. The red is the colors of my studio kitchen...it looked so nice done ...don't ya think!!! Until tomorrow....tomorrow is for the chocolate lover in your life!!! Cyber Hugs, Dawn Gallop
