Teddy Bear First Birthday Cake wth Elmo Bib

-

Received yet another adorable request for a first birthday cake:  a 3D Baby Teddy Bear wearing a diaper and an Elmo Bib, building block letters spelling birthday boy's name placed in front of the cake.

They had scheduled a taste testing session back in March and said they liked the Strawberry cake & Chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream filling.  So they wanted their cake to be half strawberry, half chocolate.  Then 2 days before the birthday party, they requested the cake be made gluten free with minimal sugar.  I had to run to the store to buy the different ingredients to make a gluten free cake, but I'm happy that I was able to do this for them, since the mother was saying that her son was reacting to the cupcake that she had made earlier in the week.

Cake: Gluten-free Strawberry & Gluten-free Chocolate Cake
Filling: Vanilla Buttercream
Icing: Vanilla Buttercream

Design specifics:
*Teddy bear with hands in front, space for a cupcake (mother will make the cupcake)
*Teddy will have a bib on with Elmo, covering half of the torso, belly hanging out below.
*Teddy will wear diaper
*Letter blocks "ALEC" in front of Teddy [red, green, yellow, blue]
*Teddy will have brown "chestnut" color "hair/fur" with light pink nose, black eyes (refer to photo sent of teddy bear" to recreate size of eyes, where to place the eyes, etc.)

Happy First Birthday, ALEC!

My first daughter, Claire, turned 3 this year!  I can still remember her birth, arriving 17 days early and the best Mother's Day gift ever! When trying to decide what theme to choose for this year's birthday, we were debating over several characters.  She was so excited every time she watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, we decided it would be perfect for both genders as it included all the characters.  She found a cute Minnie Mouse outfit at walmart and so it was decided and the planning began! Claire has been my sweet sunshine and mommy's little helper when it comes to baking.  She helped to measure and mix the ingredients to make her chocolate Minnie Mouse Cake and her Mickey & Minnie Mouse Cake Pops!  She may not be the best decorator, but she is the best at making sure every crumb is accounted for.  I love you, my Claire Bear!
