E is for Elmo, and I’m talking about the Elmo cake pan. You can bring Elmo’s World home with you in the form of an edible candy plaque using your Elmo cake pan. Here’s how…

Before you begin, you will need an Elmo face cake pan, a package of White Candy Melts, 2 packages of Red Candy Melts, and some orange and black candy colors. You’ll also need disposable decorating bags.

Before you add any of the melted candy to the Elmo cake pan, you have to melt the White Candy Melt.Each package of Candy Melt is about 14 oz. Once the white candy is melted, divide it into thirds. One third you’ll leave white. One third you’ll add orange coloring, and one third you’ll add the black coloring.

Once you have these three colors, you’ll place the melted and tinted candy into disposable decorating bags (these are the same ones used to decorate cakes), cutting a hole at the bottom to release the candy as you squeeze the bag. You’ll be ready to start filling in the details of the Elmo cake pan.

Starting with the black candy, fill in the mouth, and pupils. Next, use the orange candy to fill in the nose. Refrigerate until firm. Once the candy is firm, take the Elmo cake pan out of the fridge and fill in the whites of the eyes. Refrigerate once again.

When the whites are firm, remove the pan from the fridge, and melt the 2 packages of Red Candy Melt. Mold the remainder of the face using the melted red candy. Please note that less than 1/2 the depth of the Elmo cake pan will be filled. This is normal.

Once the face is molded with the red candy, refrigerate until firm. After about 30 to 40 minutes, your candy Elmo should be ready to unmold. You’ll know that it’s ready because when sufficiently chilled, the candy plaque will release from the Elmo cake pan easily.

You will be able to unmold the finished product from the Elmo cake pan onto your hand, a soft towel or a waxed paper covered cake board. When you’re ready to serve, simply cut to size.

That’s pretty much it. It’s so simple to bring the magic of Elmo home with these easy to follow instructions using your Elmo cake pan, and a few extras. Your kids will love how it looks, and how it tastes. Use the Elmo candy plaque for a birthday party, school party, or any other celebration where Elmo will be appreciated.
