Cookie Eating Cookie Monster Cupcake - that's the name of this neat creation, inspired by the cookie-loving Sesame Street character known for phrases like: "Me want cookie!" and "Me eat cookie!"
A diner around my house has been selling these since I was a little kid (25 years ago)! They were always awesome because there's a giant mound of icing AND a bonus half-cookie!
You used to be able to get those at any local Shop Rite along with Elmo cupcakes and Oscar cupcakes (complete with an Oreo cookie as the garbage can lid).
I am a regular reader of neatorama-- this is my first post... I just wanted to share this birthday cake I made for my sister a couple years ago. It's a Betty Crocker Bake & Fill. It's a giant round brownie, lined with cookie dough, filled with chocolate ganache... shaped like cookie monster. It is my finest dessert accomplishment. Hope I am allowed to submit links! http://mattandshannon.net/photoalbums/katie23/DSCN2577 http://mattandshannon.net/photoalbums/katie23/DSCN2578 http://mattandshannon.net/photoalbums/katie23/DSCN2582
I second what Steve Murphy said...I remember getting these when I was a little kid at a nearby diner...also Big Bird cupcakes. The mound of icing + sprinkles = amazing cupcake!
