Monkey Cupcakes

Well I can say for certain that Miss V's love of Monkey's is not a phase.  She has loved monkeys for years now.  Last year for her birthday, I made a Monkey cake.

This year I made some Monkey Face cupcakes to bring to her school.  I will be bringing them in a couple hours.  They came out pretty cute.

Cupcake Supplies:
24 cupcakes
1 can chocolate frosting
Black decorator icing with Wilton tip 7
Red decorator icing with Wilton tip 4
Mini Nilla Wafer Cookies
Regular Nilla Wafer Cookies

Frost your cupcakes with the chocolate frosting.

Take a serrated knife and cut the mini Nilla Wafers in half.  With the regular size just trim the top off a tiny bit so they are flat on top.

On the cut side of the regular Nilla wafer place a bit of frosting so the crumbs don't get on the Monkey face.

Place two halves of the mini Nilla wafers on each side of the cupcake.

Pipe on eyes and nostrils with the black icing.

Pipe on the smile with the red icing.

There you go!!!
