Several of you have seen the awesome pics of the cupcakes my co-worker MikeK. baked. He did an awesome job and they were delicious! I have posted the pictures I took during a work event as well as the recipe. Happy baking!!



Supplies:



Large star tip and pastry bag



Cookie Monster head = Cupcakes


Cookie Monster fur = Blue frosting
, food coloring, or icing color (dyed coconut can be used as an alternative)


Eyes = Brown M&M's &
white mints or marshmallows/white chocolate melts (use the flat side)


Chocolate chip cookies such as Chips Ahoy or homemade cookies cut in half



Ø Bake the cupcakes J They must be thoroughly cooled down prior to decorating


Ø Once cool, cut a slit in the lower 1/3 of the cupcake


Ø Insert cookie and start icing with a large star tip.


Ø Attach the brown M&M (pupils) to the white disks by either "gluing" together with a dab of frosting


Ø Stick the eyes down onto the cupcake.
