Can these cupcakes tell you how to get to Sesame Street?

These fun cupcake versions of Elmo, Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch and Big Bird from Sesame Street are by Coco Cake Cupcakes in Vancouver, Canada, via their blog (go there to see more photos and their ponderings about just what these characters would do!). Contact them at lyndsay at cococake.com and click here for their official site. Here’s a sampling: I can imagine Elmo being a total lovin’ life party animal, very hyper, always full of ideas and up for anything. Cookie Monster is a gluttonous, fuzzy, happy-go-lucky creature of few words, Elmo’s delightfully overweight sidekick, a touch on the “Bobcat Goldthwaite” side.

Fluffer-Oreo Birthday Boy Cupcakes by Picky Palate

Blogger Picky Palate made these Fluffer-Oreo cupcakes for her son’s birthday – he requested Oreo marshmallow cupcakes. It looks like the process was a lot of fun! Click through for the recipe. A double layer of Oreo cookie! Wonderful…I tend to lick the cream out of the center of the Oreo, then eat the cookie, but if this cupcake were before me I’d take one giant bite. Bonus baking fun: she used these teaspoons with a cupcake on them!

Cakespy: Black and White Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies

From Recipes Jessie Oleson (aka Cakespy ) drops by every Monday to share a delicious dessert recipe. —The Mgmt. [ Photographs and original illustrations: Cakespy ] Paul Simon once sang that “everything looks worse in black and white.” Clearly, the guy had never sampled a black and white ice cream sandwich cookie. Starting out with the classic New York deli treat and sandwiching it with chocolate and vanilla ice cream, this is basically a trinity of awesome: cakey cookies, sweet frosting, and creamy, rich ice cream. In fact, there’s only one thing about this black and white treat that might give you pause: if you choose to alternate the alignment of the frosting and ice cream flavors, which side do you eat first? Black and White Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies – makes about 12 sandwiches – Black and White cookies adapted from Ready for Dessert by David Lebovitz Ingredients For the cookies: 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 6 tablespoons whole milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 2/3 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs, at room temperature For the icing(s): 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar (keep a little extra on hand in case needed) 2 teaspoons plus 2 teaspoons light corn syrup 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon vanilla …

Cupcake Monster Plush Toys at Renegade Craft Fair

Who said Cookie Monster gets to have all the claim on desserts? I spotted these while browsing around at the Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn, a huge two-day outdoor gathering of craft vendors. These oddly formed but quirky and lovable Cupcake Monsters are the creation of toy designer, Diane Koss. Besides these large eye-catching plushies, there are smaller-sized versions. The same design appears on other products, such as these plates for your cupcakes, before the Cupcake Monsters get to them, of course. You can find her Etsy shop, “Cutesy but not Cutesy”, or keep hoping that one day, a Cupcake Monster will pop out of your closet in full force with hypnotizing eyes, Funfetti camouflage, and pink frosting “blood.” Oh, the horror!

Cakespy: Inside-Out Peanut Butter Cups

From Recipes Jessie Oleson (aka Cakespy ) drops by every Monday to share a delicious dessert recipe. —The Mgmt. [ Original artwork and photographs: Jessie Oleson ] Chocolate peanut butter cups are undoubtedly one of the finer things in life. But I have my reservations about the construction: the chocolate gets your hands messy and there never seems to be enough peanut butter. So what would happen if you turned a peanut butter cup inside-out? To find out, I started by using a peanut butter bar cookie crust recipe for the outer shell, then filled them with a peanut butter fudge mixture, thus increasing the peanut butter-to-chocolate ratio dramatically. While the crumbly nature of the crust doesn’t make them much neater to eat, taste-wise, it’s a whole new ballgame. It’s like the fudgy center is getting a big peanut butter bear hug from the cookie coating. And it’s delicious. Inside-Out Peanut Butter Cups – makes about 6 large cups, or 12 mini cups – Ingredients For the peanut butter shells: 4 tablespoons butter, softened 6 tablespoons brown sugar 2 1/2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy works best) 1/4 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup flour For the filling: Adapted from Taste of Home 1 cup confectioners’ sugar 2 tablespoons milk (I used whole milk) 1 tablespoon peanut butter (creamy works best) 2 1/2 teaspoons baking cocoa 1 tablespoon …

The Obsession with DoubleTree Hotel’s Warm Chocolate-Chip Cookies

[Photographs: Erin Zimmer] DoubleTree seemed like just another hotel chain to me, until I stayed there—and was handed a warm cookie with my room card. Ah, that’s right, this is the cookie hotel! The front desk lady pulled out the paper bag from a warming drawer next to her computer. (This has to be the best purpose for a drawer.) And somewhere around the world that day, about 30,000 warm chocolate-chip-walnut cookies would be pulled out of DoubleTree warming drawers at various locations, according to their website (yes, the cookies get their own page) . Each DoubleTree bakes multiple batches of the frozen dough daily, so they have about three times as many cookies as guests checking in that day. DoubleTree knows there will inevitably be cookie moochers, but they don’t judge. Go ahead, have another. So are they good? It’s pretty hard for a cookie that’s both warm and free to be bad —and luckily, they really aren’t bad! Little oaty flecks give them good texture and with all those melty chocolate chips (apparently 15 in each) you’ll definitely get a chocolate hit in every bite. It’s just the right size too—not a monster, but not…

Gluten-Free Double Chocolate Cashew Cookies

Deciding on the perfect cookie to take to a party can be daunting. Not really, but…pull out an old trick or try something new? I wanted something new. Martha Stewart has an online Cookie of the Day feature, so I started my hunt there. Nothing sang to me as I clicked my way through many months of archives, then I landed on a recipe for a chocolate cookie with nuts (Martha used pecans) that looked perfect. The cookies turned out to be gluten-free. Even better! A gluten-free friend would be at the party, and, believe me, it’s ain’t no party if you can’t eat the cookies. Then I realized, hey, it’s almost Passover (half our our household observes Passover). These cookies will also work for that whiny, hungry week without leavened wheat. Double win! With only powdered sugar, cocoa powder, chocolate, nuts, salt, and egg whites in the ingredients, these cookies cook up light and chewy like a meringue, but taste like a rich brownie. I’d make these cookies again even if there weren’t a celiac at the party or Passover was in observance. These cookies are truly “a good thing.” Thanks, Martha! Gluten-Free Double Chocolate Cashew Cookies adapted from Martha Stewart makes about 24 cookies 3 cups powdered sugar 3/4 cup cocoa powder 1/2 teaspoon …
