Monsters, Part Deux

Well, well, well... we meet again, friends. I was trying to think what the subject of this second post should be, and I decided it should just be a continuation of the first one. Because, of course, I have more than one example of monster cupcakes. Well at least I think this qualifies as a monster... That's Muno, from Yo Gabba Gabba! I've never actually seen the show, but making the cupcakes was fun. I hope that doesn't make me lose any of my decorator street cred. Cause that's what I'm really concerned about-what they're saying about my cupcakes, you know, on the streets...

ANYWAY

Originally I was just supposed to make a cake for a two-year-old's birthday party, but it was really last minute and I ended up not having a box big enough for a cake big enough for the amount of people at the party, yadda, yadda, yadda... So I decided to make cupcakes as sort of "cake-cessories" to supplement the cake. And yes, I will take credit for making that up.

I know, I know, this is supposed to be a CUPcake blog. But hey, I got love for the big cakes, too, alright? Ok, great, thanks. First things first, le cake. Or I guess if I'm going the pretend French route I should go all in... Voila! Le Gateau- I thought he turned out pretty darn cute. So that was the main event. Although the wart-y type things on the "actual" guy on the show kind of creep me out, I sort of really like them on the cake version for some reason. This cake and the cupcakes were really some of my most favorite to decorate. They were so fun. I love doing kids' cakes.

Ok, onto the cupcakes! They were seriously so fun to make. Every big, goofy eyeball, each weird, pointy tooth, and kind of gross little monster wart I piped, the more excited I was.

The more I look at these little guys, the more they remind me of another fairly famous monster with only one eye, whom I would absolutely love to turn into cupcakes... I'll let you think about that one, and have to get back to you if/when it happens. So here they are, mini Munos! Hope you enjoy. :)
