Elmo cupcakes for Aza

Our friends Melissa and Gareth little girl Aza was turning 2 and the theme of her party was Elmo!

A little while ago Natalie of Bake & Destroy whipped up a batch of Elmo cupcakes for a friends son's birthday. And it seemed it was now my turn to join the Elmo cupcake club.

So armed with Natalies awesome instructions and some super cute Elmo cupcake cases (supplied by Mummy Melissa) I whipped up a batch of Elmos for Aza.

woohoo an almost perfect one!

I think they turned out pretty good for a rushed job, even though some of them have super crazy eyes!! While Natalie used marshmallows cut in half for Elmos eyes, I used large milk chocolate buttons instead (due to realising that all my white marshmallows had been eaten by hubby!). I used an orange pebble for the nose and the same Wilton 233 tip for the fur. I really need to invest in some better red food colouring as mine turned out a bit pink red, rather than a nice strong red that I was after.
