Rocco and Sabrina Street

'Rainy Day

Sweepin' the cries away

On my way to where the air is sweet

Can you tell me how to get

How to get to Rocco-Sabrina Street'

Rocco and Sabrina are celebrating their 2nd birthdays together!
Despite rainy weather, all their friends decided to come join the fun
and help them blow out their candles! Cookie Monster showed up, as usual, with CCOOOOOKIEEEEEEESSS! These cookies are made from marshmallow fondant.

Oscar was grouchy, but he showed a smile or two during the party.

The trash can is rice crispy treats covered with marshmallow fondant.

We have Bert and Ernie poking through a window.
Bert had a pigeon convention, but he thought
Rocco and Sabrina were more important.... aw.

Of course, how could we forget the big guy... Big Bird.

All of Rocco and Sabrina's friends were made from gumpaste and marshmallow fondant. Everything on this cake was edible.... well, except for the candle.

Oscar's trash bin was painted with silver luster dust.

This cake makes me so happy.

Oops, I almost forgot about these guys. Sesame Street cakepops!
Who doesn't love a good cakepop? This wonderful idea came from,
none other than Bakerella's Street Party.
I was so grateful for the idea that I sent Bakerella some pictures.
I'm now a "Pop Star!"  So cool.

Each wonderful kid went home with a stomach full of
pizza, juice, ice-cream, cake and more cake ...on a stick.

Rocco and Sabrina, Happy 2nd Birthday!

....and to think, just 24 hours ago, a simple cake was waiting in the wings for the furry friends to take their seats.

Vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream. Cakepops are vanilla cake covered with candy melts. Marshmallow fondant and/or gumpaste were used for the figurines. But, the most important ingredient was Justin's help. Without his temporary single parenting skills, there was no way I could've made all the Sesame Street characters come alive. I believe he learned this valuable skill during my Twilight days (all four books, two weeks).

Justin, you rule! You may refer to this blog for your next golf outing. :)

Please don't ask me to make any Sesame Street related cakes for at least a year.
I think I need that much time to recuperate.

This cake was brought to you by
the number 2 and the letters R and S.
