Ingredients

Servings: 2

  • 2 cupcakes (any flavor)
  • 1 can or bowl of blue frosting or buttercream
  • 4 white chocolate buttons

  • 1/2 cup of blue sprinkles (optional)
  • 1/2 cup of coconut (optional)
  • Blue food coloring

Method 1 of 3:

Making Cookie Monster Cupcakes with Piped Fur

  1. . Use your favorite cupcake recipe and bake as many as you'd like to decorate as Cookie Monster. You could make vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, or a combination of these. Ensure that you let your cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack before frosting or decorating them.
    • If you frost cupcakes while they're still warm, the cupcakes will absorb the frosting or it may just slide right off.
  2. Place a medium-sized pastry bag into a tall glass and fold the ends over the sides of the glass. This will secure the pastry bag. Take a spoon and fill the piping bag with the blue frosting or buttercream. Cut the tip of the piping bag so you make a small hole in the end. [1]
    • You could also attach a pastry tip onto your piping bag. This would give your piped fur or frosting a unique design. Consider using a multi-opening tip to give the appearance of fur.

  3. Hold the bulk of the filled pastry bag with your dominant hand. Use your other hand to hold the pastry bag near the tip. Gently squeeze the blue frosting all over the top of the cupcakes. You should be making a squiggly motion so the frosting comes out in a thin drizzle. [2]
    • Try to make each cupcake look a little messy so the frosting looks like fur. You should cover the entire top of each cupcake with the blue frosting.
  4. Place two white chocolate buttons on each cupcake for the eyes. Take your tube of black icing and squeeze little circles on the buttons to make the pupils. You should also use the tube to squeeze a mouth onto each cupcake. [3]
    • You can make the pupils uneven so it looks like Cookie Monster has crazy eyes.
  5. Break one chocolate chip cookie and stick one half directly onto each mouth. The chocolate chip cookie should be sticking out a little so that it looks like the Cookie Monster is eating it. [4]
    • You could also use a chocolate sandwich cookie instead of chocolate chip.

Making Cookie Monster Cupcakes with Blue Sprinkles

  1. . Use your favorite cupcake recipe and bake as many as you'd like to decorate as Cookie Monster. You could make vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, or a combination of these. Ensure that you let your cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack before frosting or decorating them.
    • You can bake the cupcakes a day or two before you need to frost and decorate them. Just store them in an airtight container at room temperature until you're ready to decorate.
  2. Dip your offset spatula into a small bowl or can of blue frosting. Scoop out enough frosting to easily spread over the top of each cupcake. Ensure that you spread frosting evenly over the tops so that the entire top is covered. [5]
    • You don't have to be too detailed with perfect frosting technique since the cupcake will be covered with sprinkles and decorated.
  3. Shake about 1/2 cup of blue sprinkles into a small bowl. Hold each cupcake near the bottom and turn them upside down. Dip the tops of the cupcakes into the sprinkles and twist them around so that the frosting is completely coated in blue sprinkles. [6]
    • Try to choose blue sprinkles that match the color of Cookie Monster.
  4. Dab a little frosting onto the backs of white chocolate buttons. Set two white chocolate buttons on each cupcake for the eyes. Use your tube of black icing to squeeze little circles on the buttons to make the pupils. You should also use the tube to squeeze a mouth onto each cupcake. [7]
    • If you really want the mouth to show up underneath the cookie, you'll need to make it very large or wide.
  5. Break one chocolate chip cookie and stick one half directly onto each mouth. The chocolate chip cookie should be sticking out a little so that it looks like the Cookie Monster is eating it. [8]
    • You could also use a chocolate sandwich cookie instead of chocolate chip.

Making Cookie Monster Cupcakes with Blue Coconut

  1. . Make your favorite cupcake recipe and bake as many as you'd like to decorate. Try vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, or coffee flavored cupcakes. Just make sure that you let your cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack before frosting or decorating them.
    • For a sophisticated cupcake, try swirling together vanilla and chocolate cupcake batter. This will make a marbled effect.
  2. Place 1/2 cup of shredded coconut in a sealable sandwich bag. Add a few drops of blue food coloring to the coconut. Seal the bag and shake it. Look at the coconut and decide if you'd like it to be a brighter blue. If so, add another drop or two of food color and shake the bag. [9]
    • If you've made your blue coconut too bright for your liking, just add some more white shredded coconut to the bag and shake it again.
  3. Take an offset spatula and use it to scoop some blue frosting onto the tops of your cupcakes. Use the flat part of the spatula to spread the frosting evenly over the entire top of each cupcake. [10]
    • If you don't have an offset spatula, you could use a plain butter knife, a rubber spatula or a small spoon.
  4. Open your bag of blue coconut and dump it into a small bowl. Hold each cupcake near the bottom and turn them upside down. Dip the tops of the cupcakes into the blue coconut and twist them around so that the frosting is completely coated in blue coconut. [11]
    • Be gentle when rolling the cupcakes in coconut. If you're too forceful, you might rub the frosting off into the bowl.
  5. Dab a pea-sized amount of frosting on the backs of the white chocolate buttons. Stick two white chocolate buttons on each cupcake for the eyes. Take your tube of black icing and squeeze little circles on the buttons to make the pupils. You should also use the tube to squeeze a mouth onto each cupcake. [12]
    • Placing a little icing on the back of the chocolate buttons will help them stick to the coconut.
  6. Carefully use a sharp knife to cut a line where the mouth is. Place one small chocolate chip cookie directly into this cut so that only half of it sticks out of the mouth. [13]
    • If you'd only like to use half of a cookie, break the cookie in half and insert it just a little way into the cupcake.
