Elmo cake

Wanted to share the how to of the Elmo Birthday Cake I made for Evan's 1st birthday.
8in Cake round and 3 cupcakes, the rest of the cupcakes can be used for individual lil' Elmos for the other kids. 

Eyes - make 1/2 incision at bottom of eye and gradually come up so the cupcake will sit at an angle.
Nose - do the same but level and cut cupcake in a teardrop. 

Ice up it using cake tips...much patience.
