Today is my godson's first birthday party, and the theme of the party is Curious George. Since I wanted to make something that went along with the theme, I saw a couple designs for monkey cupcakes and created my own twist.
I made some banana cupcakes, used some milk chocolate frosting (it's lighter than regular frosting), 3/4 of a regular Nilla Wafer, 2 halves of a Mini Nilla Wafer, and some black and red gel icing for the eyes, nostrils and mouth. They turned out a lot better than I anticipated, though it took a couple tries before I figured what the best design for the eyes. I'm pretty proud of them!
Oh my, I'm turning into a homeroom mom!!!
OMG! those look awsome! and i bet they're just as tasty too! Same me one... or 2 or 3... hahaha...

Posted by: Sue on September 5, 2006 12:40 PMSo cute!!! You're so clever.
My niece has loved Curious George since she was a baby. She's going to be 16, but she still loves him. I might have to try making those for her birthday.
Unless you decide to start a baking business, and then I'll be your first customer. :P

Posted by: noelle on September 6, 2006 07:31 PMYou clever girl! Adam burst into tears when he saw my Grover cake for his 2nd birthday. Yea, it was scary....but these guys are scary cute!
Posted by: SusanG on September 6, 2006 09:40 PMLOL!!! You one smart mommy... i'm gonna have to copy these.
Posted by: Nino on September 7, 2006 01:00 AMNext time you should try to make the nostrils smaller or the eyes bigger. The alternate view of these things are smiley face-russians with big ears...and two large pieces of charcoal in their enormous hats.
but they're very cute!
