This is a really simple way to make cupcake that look like your child's favorite Sesame Street character, Elmo. Just make your favorite brand of cake mix in a cupcake pan. After the cupcakes cool, frost them with white icing. Spray the white cupcakes with red food coloring highlights (Note: They will seem orange at first, but it will turn to a nice red after a few moments.) I like this icing , because it doesn't have a strong "red" flavor. Print out a picture of Elmo's head on your printer, and then cut it out. I separated the nose and eyes from the rest of the head so that I could get the right proportions. I used a tube of Wilton's Orange decorating icing for the nose, and a tube of Wilton's Black decorating icing for Elmo's mouth and pupils. I used vanilla icing for his eyes.
