Elmo Cupcakes

My baby is turning one!  The birthday boy really loves Elmo, so we made these cupcakes.  They looked really cute!




The cupcakes are white cake with marshmallow frosting.  We colored the icing red (actually pink because I ran out of food coloring) and then sprinkled red sugar on top.  For the eyes, cut a big marshmallow in half and then add a dot of black icing for the pupil.  An orange gum drop makes the nose, and the mouth is drawn on with black icing.



Of the batch of cupcakes, we only made about a third look like Elmo- others had a dusting of red sugar or M&M's.
