The first time I made Cookie Monster cupcakes was for a friend’s baby debut party. She just had twins and she was having a little potluck for friends to finally meet the twin girls. I thought the Cookie Monster cupcakes were appropriate for this event.
At another event, I made Cookie Monster and Elmo cupcakes for my sister’s party. Despite the average age of her friends was around 28, everyone liked the cupcakes.

Recently, Martha Stewart came out with a cupcake book, filled with tons of recipes, ideas, and tricks. And being a fan of hers, I consulted in the book and decided to combine two of her recipes- the Devil’s Food Cupcakes and the Mint Filled Cupcakes. The Devil’s Food Cupcakes calls for sour cream, something that I have not tried with cupcakes before. The sour cream moistens the cupcake, and adds a little kick to it. Instead of using the chocolate ganache frosting, I made a red cream cheese frosting. The mint center was a really big hit and all my guests loved it!

Cute-as-button cupcakes!
