Santa Hat Elmo with Birthday Gift Cake

What better for a two year old on his same day as Christmas birthday, than an Elmo bursting from a gift box wearing a Santa hat? Maybe if inside is perennial favorite chocolate fudge cake with Madagascar vanilla bean filling.

The white fondant gift box is tied with a green bow and decorated with Elmo's goldfish, crayons and musical notes.
