Sunny day…sweepin’ the clouds away—don’t lie. You know you love that giant obese yellow bird that sings to your kids and teaches lessons.
That’s right. We’re talking about the one and only Sesame Street!
For birthday parties and other gatherings, Sesame Street cupcakes are a popular choice for cupcakes. This design will help you to create Elmo cupcakes.
This Elmo cupcake recipe will give you adorable cupcakes that look just like the real thing. Come on… let’s head to Sesame Street and learn how to make these cute little Elmo cupcakes.
Ingredients:
- Premade Cupcakes (flavor of your choice)
- Red Royal Icing
- Orange Gumball
- Marshmallows
- Black Icing or Mini Chocolate Chips
Directions:
1) Take your premade cupcakes and get them ready for frosting. Apply the Grass Tip to your pastry bag and fill it with red icing.
2) Frost your cupcakes with the Grass Tip, pressing down lightly at the base and pulling the pastry bag up, off the cupcake, about ¼ of an inch (depending on how furry you want Elmo to be).
3) With your marshmallows, you can either slice the regular size in halves or you can use mini marshmallows. If you’re not even a marshmallow fan you can just use some white icing and pipe a circle blob of frosting.
4) Use either some black icing or mini chocolate chips for the pupils. Have fun with this. Experiment with the position and size of the pupils to make Elmo excited, wild, confused, or just his regular cute self.
5) For Elmo’s nose, simple use an orange gumball– right in the middle of the cupcake or you could use an orange gumdrop, M&M, circus peanut… the possibilities are endless so be sure to try them all!
Growing up, Sesame Street was one of my all time favorite shows and I always loved Elmo, especially the segment called “Elmo’s World”. Although times are changing, it is good to know that our little red fuzzy friend will stay the same.
He is still learning to tie his shoes and count by twos… leaving a good example for the growing generation of Sesame Street lovers. Don’t spoil a good birthday with regular cupcakes. Choose Elmo cupcakes and they are sure to be the hit of the party.
