So it is my kiddos 3rd birthday tomorrow and I am bringing treats to their Birthday Celebration. Since I just make cake pops last week I really did not know which route to take. Then I saw on Penguin Says Feed Me this cutest cookie monster made with colored coconut. Brilliant, I thought and proceeded to marry it with our favorite Coconut Chick Cupcakes.
I followed the step by step instructions but instead of toasting the coconut I left it fresh. Actually I tried to toast it when colored and it just did not look as good so I left it fresh. I also left the frosting white and only concentrated on the coconut.
Place 1/2 bag of coconut in a ziplock back and drop few drops of food coloring until you get desired effect. Continue with red, blue and yellow.
Now it is time to decorate. To make a Cookie Monster roll in blue coconut, add white wafers for eyes and make pupils from chocolate chips or eatable marker. For a cookie I added mini cookie cereal like Cookie Crisp.
For Big Bird I dipped in yellow and colored his eyes with eatable markers. The beak was made by dipping candy corn in yellow melted chocolate.
Elmo was dipped in red, a yellow chocolate wafer was used for his nose.
That is how I made my Sesame Street Bunch. With the leftover coconut, we made these colorful monsters.
They were so tasty and so cool to look at.
They look fab and great pics too.
Happy birthdays to the kiddies.
