Cookie Monster Cupcakes
C is for cookie… that’s good enough for me. In fact, it’s good enough for most people, but for those who love cupcakes as well, take a look here.
These adorable cookie monster cupcakes capture the lovable Sesame Street sweets lover at his most vulnerable hour—with a cookie right in his mouth!
These creative cupcakes are great for a child’s birthday or other special occasion. I especially like these cookie monster Sesame Street cupcakes because I used to love Cookie Monster.
Nowadays, there is talk of Cookie Monster eating healthy and such monstrosities like that, so it’s good to see that Cookie Monster still likes to enjoy an enormous cookie every now and then. But then again, don’t we all? [singlepic=94,320,240,,right]
Ingredients:
- Premade Cupcakes
- Blue Sprinkles
- White Royal Icing
- Miniature Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Chocolate Chips or Black Icing
Directions:
1) Frost your cupcakes with your white icing. If you want Cookie Monster to look “extra” blue, tint some of the white frosting with blue food coloring. Be sure to keep the frosting as smooth as you can.
2) Grab a handful of blue sprinkles and lightly press them to the cupcake, being sure to cover all portions where icing is visible.
3) For the eyes, take a dollop of white icing and place them in the appropriate places. For pupils, you can use many different techniques. I’ve found that just a tiny dot of black icing works well, but feel free to use chocolate chips, raisins, etc. in order to give Cookie Monster some depth and personality. Have fun!
4) As a finishing touch, cut a small chocolate chip cookie into halves and press a half into the spot on the cupcake when a mouth would usually be. If you find the cookies too hard to cut, just shove the whole cookie into the cupcake. After all, that’s how Cookie Monster would do it!
After your Sesame Street cupcakes are complete, there is not much left to do, but enjoy. The only problem is, with Cookie Monster looking so cute, it may be hard to bite into the little guy, but you’re just going to have to try your best because he sure is tasty!
