Cookie Monster Cupcakes

I'm sure a lot of you have seen these cute little cupcakes floating around on the internet. My SIL asked me to make the cake for the guests at my nieces first birthday. She said she wanted Sesame Street themed so I was so excited to have an excuse to try these out!

All you need is:
Cupcakes
Frosting
Cookies
Marshmallows

BUILDING:

Mouth Slit

Very first thing I did was pull the wrappers off and cut a slit for a mouth on the side. Then I broke the cookies in half and put the cookies in the mouth slit.

Cookie in mouth

FROSTING:
Then I just star tipped the top of the cupcake in blue frosting. Super easy!!

Cupcake all startipped

FINISHING DETAILS:
To finish up I just used marshmallows for the white's of his eyes. I then frosted the blacks of his eyes (one towards the top of the marshmallow and one towards the bottom) with black frosting. All done! It only took about 15 minutes to do all the cookie monster cupcakes! Loved these!

My Top 5 Tips To Remember

1. When Your Going To Be Cutting Or Shaping Cakes ALWAYS Freeze Them First!
This makes them less crumbly and easier to work with. It also keeps them from drying out.

2. Invest In Disposable Bags!
When using multiple colors or tips this will save so much time since you won't have to wash and dry your bags plus it makes clean up much more simple!

3. The Scrape And Lick Technique!
When something is tipped or piped on and doesn't look the way you want it to simply scrape it off with a toothpick and lick! Problem solved and then you can try again :)

4. Always Save Your Scraps!
When cutting and shaping never eat or throw away any scraps until you are completely finished! You never know when you might need some extra cake for something.

5. Try Details On Before Frosting!
Place candy or whatever details you plan on adding before frosting so you have an idea of how it will actually look. This way you can move it around and decide what will work best without messing up frosting. Then frost and you know exactly where and how you want your details!
