3D Elmo Cake

Well, this is my first attempt at a 3D Cake Deco and I have to choose dear ELMO! I thought we can just pipe Elmo's furs on him... but boy, were we wrong! We had to use marzipan to create his furs! No doubt marzipan taste delicious, but the process of creating Elmo's furs were very time consuming.... 3 1/2 hrs!
From 6:30pm, I completed Elmo at about 10pm. While, the deco for the rest of the cake was a breeze.............
Anyway, the cake from PH was a butter cake and I must say, it goes very well with marzipan. Yes, it was delicious! Rich butter taste with a layer of almond paste (marzipan)!

Look at the mess on the table....  my Elmo! After all my hard work, I want to hug him. But reviews were that he didn't quite look like the Elmo we know.... but, heck - I shall conquer him next try!

Now, from this angle, it looks better - right?
