Elmo Cupcakes

The same friend who asked me to make Very Hungry Caterpillar also asked me to make Elmo cupcakes for his daughter's party at home.  There were many variations for Elmo cupcakes out in Google land and I decided to use fondant for the facial features.  The red vanilla icing was created using the 'grass/fur' decorating tip, and it was added on top of red velvet cupcake.
