Me No Want Cookie! Me Want Cake!


We all know that Cookie Monster loves his cookies but what could be better than a CAKE that looks like cookie monster?


This cake was for one of my dearest friends little boy who was turning 1! The theme of the party was as you can tell baby cookie monster! I had so much fun making this cake and Carter and his parents loved it!


Cookie monster himself sat on top of a 10 inch round cake that was made to look like the plates used at the party. The bottom cake served 25 while cookie monster served around 12... I don't know for sure because he was just too cute to cut up at the party! Hee hee! :) Both cakes were confetti cake with vanilla buttercream. It's gotta be a party on the inside too right?!


This googly eyed cutie was covered in hand-piped blue buttercream fur. Yes it took a long time and there were many hand cramps along the way but it was definitely worth it! The cookie he is holding is courtesy of the Keebler Elves. I didn't want to bake an ENTIRE batch of cookies... although they would have gone great with the cake.


Since this cookie monster was a baby he had to have a diaper and luckily it was a clean one! Adorned with safety pins made from fondant to keep that sucker on! In addition to the diaper being fondant the cake that cookie monster is sitting on is covered in fondant as well.


And what's a first birthday without a smash cake? And what's a cookie monster party without a "cookie"? This smash cake was covered in buttercream which ended up getting destroyed by the birthday boy... after a little coaxing from mom of course! The "chips" were painted on with brown food coloring. Nom nom nom!


This is a picture of the birthday boy with his cake. He sure is checking that cake out hard. I like to think that the cake looks SO real that he is wondering why cookie monster is not moving!


I was so honored to be asked to make this cake and I loved the way it turned out!
Happy Birthday Carter!
