My friend has a band called "Sputnik" so I made him the Aliens for his birthday! Also his mom was scared of the Aliens so I had to make them. Don't let the neon green whipping, dripping, and dipping deter you from trying these, they are actually pretty simple. And I came up with the brilliant idea of putting another liner/cupcake cup on AFTER you whip, dip and drip to keep the frosting from getting all over the place. Of course I thought of this after I made some penguins for a five year old's birthday party- I bet that was a wee bit messy--- that black food coloring! I did carve a twinkie into the shape of a keyboard for the aliens and whipped, dipped and dripped it, and then added keys with white frosting- quite a hit! I did the starry night ones and planets with the same technique. 
We also had a Muppet Sing-a-long for a big birthday- too bad I didn't get a chance to prop up the cupcakes with pieces of the espresso maker and take some serious pictures... At least I got one of the Swedish Chef, Mr. Filmschool's favorite, but then I ate him. Call me Chef! ;-) I found a recipe on the internet for super moist chocolate cake and it had no eggs in it- but it was super moist! All this egg drama has me even a little more cautious about the constant hand washing... What does the Swedish Chef say, "oshky boyshky..." I don't know why the photo is sideways. Louie just jumped on the keyboard to help me...
