Was looking for some great 1st birthday cake inspriration and now I know I won't be making my own. They are amazing! I can't believe the last one is a cake, how do they get big bird to stand up like that?

I saw that episode of Food Network Challenge, and it was sooooo cool!!! I've loved Sesame Street since I was a kid, and those cakes came out amazing!!!! I love the Cake Wrecks book. I got one of my coworkers addicted to it. Him and I laughed so hard at the cakes.

Four people have seen the missing character. Where is Grover on these cakes? I wouldn't even mind a wrecked Grover cake!! Why do kids want Elmo? Why am I ranting about cakes and Sesame Street? WHY!?!
...well, I feel better now.
