If you follow me on Instagram you probably saw these cute little Monster Cookies I shared last week. Â Since they ended up turning out pretty well, I decided to cake-i-fy them! Â Thats totally a word by the way.
So I whipped up a the Perfect White Cake and threw some cookies on top.  Voila!  Monster Cake.
Just in case you wanted to make some Monster Cookies, here is a tutorial!
To make six cookie sandwiches you will need:
One dozen cookies of your choice. Â (I love this recipe for the Chocolate Cookies, just substitute Reese’s Pieces for the white chocolate)
1 recipe buttercream
Red, orange, brown*, blue and green food coloring
Halloween Sprinkles**
1M, #230, #4B and a 9PT tip. (the 9PT is a large open circle, you can also just cut 3 inches off a plastic pastry bag to get the same effect)
*You can also use chocolate buttercream
**If you dont have Halloween Sprinkles you can use black food coloring
I will demonstrate on the orange cookie. Â For the chocolate cookie I used chocolate as a base and added a little red at the front. Â (Too much red buttercream gets bitter to me)
Make buttercream. Â Divide batter equally into six bowls. Â Tint one red, one orange, one brown, one blue, one green and leave the last bowl white. Â I use Ateco gel paste food coloring.
1. Â Put a 9PT tip (large open circle) into plastic disposable pastry bag and fill with orange frosting. Â I have shown it above with no tip; I simply cut off about 3 inches from the top of the bag.
2. Pipe out a base of frosting onto cookie. Â You will want it to be higher on one side so that the cookie will rest at an angle, just like an open mouth.
3. Set cookie on top.
4. Â Using a coupler set and a #230 tip, fill up bag with white frosting. Â Place the tip of the frosting bag to the point where the orange frosting and the cookie meet, then apply pressure. Â While still applying pressure start pulling tip back then quickly pull and release all pressure. Â Do this around upper cookie and on lower cookie.
5. Â Fill the bag fitted with a 1M tip (you can also use a 4B tip, I have done that in orange on some of the cookies) with brown frosting. Â Starting towards the back of the cookie, apply pressure and build a small mound of frosting; then quickly pull tip down. Â Do this twice, as these are the monsters eye brows.
6. Â Pick up your bag with the #230 tip and white frosting and apply pressure at the base of the chocolate. Â Hold your tip steady and just keep applying pressure. Â Release pressure when you have a satisfactory amount of frosting for the eye ball.
7. Â Place green frosting in a plastic disposable pastry bag and but off a very small tip, say 1/2 inch. Â Repeat with blue frosting. (You now have two bags of frosting.) Â Choose which color you want to use for the eyes (I sometimes used both) and place a small dab in the center of the white frosting.
8. Â Pick up black Halloween Sprinkles and place in the center of the green (or blue) dot. Â Press slightly.
For the Monster Cake I just added four completed Monster Cookies to the top.  I also snuck in some coordinating colors to the inside of the cake.  Just for fun. 🙂
Since it was necessary to remove the cookie prior to cutting a slice, I decided to go back in and add some details to the slice before I served it. Â Repeating the steps above, add eyebrows and eyes to the back of the slice.
 How fun is that?!?
These cookies are a mouthful.  Ha, ha get it?  There is a lot of buttercream and two full sized cookies, so feel free to make mini versions!
I had so much fun with them! Â You really can’t go wrong when decorating. Â If you look closely above I even made one of them a vampire!
And I just had to show you what happens when you drop one on the ground…
That kills me.
