Cookie Monster Cup Cake

Do you like Cookie Monster?

I made this Cookie Monster Cup Cake for my son and he loved the blue colour and the spiky hair.  I also made cup cake with lots of sprinkles.  They are very simple to make and kids love them.  If you are interested in seeing step by step video.  Please let me know.  I am making a few videos for other products at the moment. I might be able to move around the schedule and make this video sooner if there are more interest in this one.

Each Cup cake, you need:

 

Ingredients:

1 chocolate cup cake

2 white chocolate wafer for the eyes

2 chocolate chips for the eyes

Blue icing (together with blue sprinkles if you want) 



a mini chocolate chip cookie

 

Tools:

a knife

Piping tip (Wilton #2 tip - if you want to pipe the black chocolate eye)

1 Piping bag for the eye

1 Piping bag for the blue icing (if you make your own icing)

Blue colour (Wilton Royal Blue colour) and icing or (ready to use blue icing from Wilton)

Piping tip (Wilton #233 - to pipe the blue hair)

 

 

1.) The first step is to make the eyes. Get 2 white chocolate wafer (for Candy one) and glue 1 chocolate chip on top of the white wafer like the picture. To make the eye ball smoother texture, you may melt some Dark chocolate wafer and put it in a small piping bag. Then pipe a small dot on the wafer to make the eyes of the cookie monster.  (Please only be careful not to cut the hole too pig. You can always make the hole bigger but not the other way around.  

 

2.) Have a chocolate cup cake ready at room temperature.

 

 

3.) Put a thin layer of icing to cover the top of the cake.  If you pipe the icing with the tip directly, you will see black colour showing up between the blue icing.  After covering the top with icing, you could put the tip (Wilton #233) on the ready to use icing tube and start piping from the center.  Then pipe around the center to the outer edge until.  Try to pipe close to each other.  Otherwise, it will not look hairy enough. The piping motion is to hold down the piping tip close to the cake, squeeze and squeeze til you see the icing coming out then pull and lift the tip.  You may try practicing that motion on a piece of paper first.  If you do make a mistake on the cake, that is OK. Use a knife and scrape off the part you do not like and try piping again.

4.) Before the icing is dried, put the eyes on the upper part of the cake.  Press down gently. Otherwise, the eyes will fall off.  Once you like the location of the eyes, you could use a knife and cut an opening for the cookie, slightly below the center of the cake.

 

Now there is an opening to insert a mini chocolate chip cookie.

 

That is it!  Here you go, Cookie Monster Cup cake!

 

I will add the step by step written procedures how to make it here.  Please check back later follow the blog for updated information.
