How to Make Cookie Monster Cupcakes: Video

Although some people believe the popularity of cupcakes is on the decline, I beg to differ. As long as there are birthdays to be celebrated there will always be cupcakes. If decorating cupcakes at home seems intimidating, this tutorial on how to decorate Cookie Monster cupcakes will show you just how easy it is to make one of Sesame Streets most beloved characters come to life in cupcake form. Best of all, kids will love decorating these cupcakes as much as they do eating them. Using ingredients and supplies you likely have in your home, these cupcakes are perfect for your childs next birthday party or for when they feel like flexing their decorating skills. Pipe enough frosting to cover the surface of each cupcake.

Dip each cupcake top into the shredded coconut until fully coated. To make the eyes, poke a hole into each cut marshmallow and push a chocolate chip into it, pointed side down. Place two eyes side by side towards the center top of each cupcake. Finish the cupcake off by adding a cooking to the center bottom half by laying it down flat or at a 45 degree angle.
