Simple Elmo Cupcakes

Elmo cupcakes are both easy and fun to make.  You need the following tips, a grass tip, 2 large circle tips, and a medium circle tip.  You'll need 4 colors 'no taste' red, black, orange and white. 

1.  Fit the grass tip with the red icing.  Coat all cupcakes with red icing. 

2.  Fit the large circle tip with the white icing. Pipe two large ovals (close to each other) at the top of each cupcake. (See figure below)

3.  Fit the large circle top with the orange icing.  Pipe one large "fat" oval at the bottom center of the cupcake.  Make certain that the oval touches both eyes in the middle.  (See figure below)

4.  Fit the medium circle tip to the black icing.  Pipe a small circle in the bottom of each white circle.  Pipe and small curved mouth under the orange oval.  (see figure below)

You're done!

See how Elmo comes alive.  Simple and quick.

Tip:  When baking the cupcakes do not overfill the cups, a flat cupcake is easier to decorate. Pin It Now!
