Cookie Monster and Caterpillar Cupcakes

The end of May was busy with birthdays (me, my dad and my daughter ) and this was my excuse to go crazy and try cupcakes and cakes that i've always wanted to try and of course I had a burnout and that's why I haven't posted in 2 weeks. I don't think I could bake for a living. I couldn't eat cake for a few days - ahh!

Lets get the ball rolling and start with the cupcakes I made for my daughter to take to school for her birthday. I thought of making just pretty caterpillar cupcakes but I just couldn't imagine the real boy boys in the class being overjoyed so I made some Cookie Monsters for the boys.

Check-out the Cookie Monster on the bottom, second from the right. Don't know how I missed him but he makes me laugh.

Hmm, looks like someone needs to brush up on their food colouring technique.

I made the eyes out of about 4g of sugarpaste and used black food colouring but if you don't want to use sugarpaste, mint cool fruits would be a good substitute.

I have made caterpillar cupcakes before, they were fun and easy to make not to mention extremely cute so I thought the girls would love them.


Those little tufts of grass were my husbands idea, and a pretty good one at that.

I thought I'd try something new and put some shimmer powder down their packs but unfortunetly it didn't really work out.

Well, the cupcakes went down a treat with the kids, i'm glad they enjoyed them, althought my husband was extremly (and i mean extremly) upset to hear the kids enjoyed them. He thought I had made them for our daughters family birthday party we were having the following day, he was looking forward to eating the Cookie Monsters.
