Chocolate chip cupcake with blue cookie monster frosting

I have wanted to make these FOREVER!! So I got a request to make them for a communion after party! So I made a chocolate chocolate chip cupcake to start. Plain frosting with blue colour paste!

I had great intentions with these, I had planned on fresh cookies for there mouths but never got around to doing it AND when it came to frosting the store was obviously  closed! My sister was horrified that I used digestives but I think they look ok!! 😀

– and here’s the recipe!
