I love making Beehive Cupcakes.
They are just so darn cute.
“Avocado” green for the leaves. Is it weird that this is my favorite color?
Did I ever tell you that I made a bunch of these for my sisters Winnie-the-Pooh classic-style baby shower?
Well, I did. It was actually really fun!
(except for the cupcake delivery car ride..)
First of all, you need some cupcakes.
And you take a nice big scoop of buttercream ( I use a large ice cream scooper).
That will be Elmo’s brain.
Next you will need a lot of red frosting and this piping tip:
It will make all of Elmo’s luscious locks.
Piping the hair is the hardest part. It’s such a workout! And getting it to have length can be a little challenging at first.
Pretend like you are making grass. And remember to keep squeezing the butter cream as you pull away – don’t stop.
To make his eyeballs and nose nice and smooth, dab your finger in water and press on the buttercream.
Next! My favorite part: his oreo mouth!
Elmo!!! People love these cupcakes and they never last very long. Too bad he’s such a stinker to make.
We had one tragedy… RIP little guy.
