Coolest Cookie Monster Cake 37

Homemade Cookie Monster Cake
This Cookie Monster Cake was for my son's first birthday. He couldn't really appreciate it, but everyone at the party did. I was inspired by a friend's Cookie Monster cake and some of the cakes from this site.
I used a 12 inch round pan for the two layers. It served about 40 people! The cake was a lemon yellow cake and oh so delicious. I got the recipe from Barefoot Contessa on foodnetwork.com. I kept the cakes cool so they would be easier to frost. The frosting was cream cheese and I got that recipe straight from my cookobook. Be sure to let the frosting come to room temperature before attempting to frost.
The mouth and eyes were made of marshmallow fondant, which I also got from an online recipe. The mouth I free-handed and the eyes I used a biscuit cutter. I used black dye for the mouth and pupils (wear gloves if you don't want to dye your hands). I used blue dye for Cookie's "skin." Last, I placed Famous Amos cookies around the cake. At first they weren't sticking because the frosting had hardened in the fridge so I used some leftover frosting to glue them on.
Overall this cake was extremely simple to bake and make. I look forward to making my husband's birthday cake!
