Sesame Street Cupcakes

Sesame Street Cupcakes on Cake Central

Mainly buttercream (some fondant on the Count). Used quite a few candies.... Jordan almonds (Bert's nose), gumballs (Grover's eyes), M&Ms (some of the eyes), and peanut M&Ms (Ernie's nose). Big Bird's beak = candy melts. Many of the mouths are half-Oreos.

Thanks, Cakegirl20! Those are marshmallows, snipped in half. (Also snipped a TINY bit at the middle to get them to stick together.)

I can't decide which character I like the best! They are all so cute! And, so clever in your use of all the "goodies." Great work!

Fantastic, just looking at your adorable cupcakes makes you want to smile. Thank you for all of your explination on the candy you used.

Thanks again for all the nice comments. I used an Ateco tip 143 for Big Bird. It looks like a U. I think you could get the same effect from just using a large round tip --instead of just making a dot, drag the icing inward toward the center. Work your way from the outer edge of the cupcake toward the middle.
