thanks so much!

I those cupcakes!

is it poss for someone to PM me the instructs please? They sound brilliant!

I can go one better

These are the ones I made for DS first birthday. I just made plain vanilla cupcakes, you can do what ever recipe you want. I sliced the tops off to make them flat (made it easier to decorate). For th elmo ones I made red buttercream icing, and used a piping bag with a large star nozzle, and covered the top of the cupcake with "stars". It made it look kind of like fur. I did the same for cookie monster but with blue instead of red. For eyes, I used white choc melts, and stuck dark choc drops onto them with a tiny dot of icing. I used orange giant jelly beans (found them in party mix bag of lollies) for elmos nose, and made a mouth with melted choc in a syringe. For cookie monster I used the cookie bear mini choc chip bikkies, I cut them in half and pushed them into the icing.
Voila!!!
Heaps of fun, and I was so proud of them!!
Have fun, post some piccies!!!
