Fiona Poole Cookie Monster Cupcakes and Harry Potter
This year my daughter turned 11, time has flown!
On her birthday she decided to take Cookie Monster Cupcakes to school for her classmates. I thought maybe they were all getting a bit old for Cookie Monster but it turns out I was wrong! They were a great hit 🙂
This is a very quick way to decorate cupcakes.
- ice with a mound of frosting
- roll in blue-tinted coconut
- add eyes made from white chocolate melts and dark choc chips
- and finally pop 1/2 a choc chip cookie in his mouth (easiest if you cut a small slit first)
For her “home” cake she requested Harry Potter’s Monster Book of Monsters. Seems we have a monster theme going on here, only at opposite ends of the spectrum!
This was simply a rectangle mud cake covered with dark chocolate buttercream fur. I used the large Wilton grass tip. Add some eyes made of fondant, a red fondant tongue and gums, some nostrils and teeth, and yellow script and it was all done 🙂 I didn’t take a photo of the cake itself but here’s one with the birthday girl just after the candles were taken out.
