In the latest installment of My Pretend Bakery, here’s how we implemented the Sesame Street theme:
First, super-grandma made 15 colors of icing while I baked the bases.

Cake (Pillsbury Funfetti…no need to make scratch cake for 2-year-olds!), Cookies, Brownies, Lemon Bars, and Rice Krispie Treats, dyed green.

I bought some of these fondant cutters and cut the rice krispie treats into 2.5″ circles, and everything else into 1.25″ circles.


The rice krispie treats became Oscar the Grouch.

The cookies became (who else?) Cookie Monster!

The brownies became Elmo.

And the lemon bars became Big Bird.
(If I did this again, I’d try lemon cheesecake instead of lemon bars…the lemon bars were exceptionally difficult to cut out as the top layer wanted to stick to the cutter, and the bottom layer wanted to crack.) The “beaks” are the yellow ends of candy corn, scored in the middle.

The star of the show was Miss Abby Cadabby!

Here’s the entire collection. Sunny Day / Sweepin’ the clouds away….

It sure was fun, but my hand is still shaking from those gazillion star tips :)
The birthday princess is worth it!
