STEP ONE:

Start with cake mix or recipe that holds it’s shape ….

STEP TWO:

Bake two cakes and at least two cupcakes — for the eyes!

STEP THREE:

Stack the cakes,  sticking them together with a butter cream frosting.

Cut the cakes into a semblance of the desired shape.

Add the cupcakes for the eyes, and secure with toothpicks.

STEP FOUR:

Frost the cupcake ‘eyes’ with plenty of frosting to round them out.  Begin spreading a

thin layer of white frosting for a base.  Give up on that and add blue frosting paste to the white.

Begin covering the cake  with a thin layer of blue.  Stop and fill in the big black mouth.

Go back and start adding ‘fur’.

STEP FIVE:

Finish up the ‘fur’ around the mouth and sides.

STEP SIX:

Add real chocolate chip cookies…even the crumbs.

Oh yes, and add eyeballs with the black frosting

and …VOILA! COOOOKIE MONSTERR!!

STEP SEVEN:

Add candles.

Light… And you have a happy four year old!
