With our Sesame Place trip coming up fast, I knew that these Elmo Cupcakes would be a big hit for Little Buddy’s 3rd Birthday and I was right! Even my 6 year old asked why I didn’t make them for his class instead of the Lego Cupcakes I brought into the school. These are perfect for an Elmo themed birthday party or a Sesame Street birthday party.
Here’s our version of the Elmo Cupcakes and how you can make them yourself!
Elmo Cupcakes
You’ll need:
Box of cake mix – any kind will do, we used chocolate
Large Marshmallows for eyes
Black buttercream icing
Red buttercream icing
Orange Jelly Beans for nose

Put it Together:
Bake the cupcakes as directed and let cool.
Using the writing tip, pipe a mouth in a half circle shape with the black icing near the bottom edge of the cupcake.
Next use a star tip to pipe the rest of the cupcake surface with the red icing.
Cut a large marshmallow in half and place both halves on the cupcake, sticky side down, for eyes. Use the black piping back again to pipe on pupils.
Place an orange jelly bean or other small orange candy in between the eyes for Elmo’s nose.
and that’s it! clone yourself some Elmo Cupcakes for your Sesame Street loving kiddos!
