Cookie Monster cake

Using 2 boxes Duncan Chocolate Cake mix following package instructions. I baked Bottom layer of cake in a Pyrex 2.5 liter bowl. The Head, in a Pyrex 1.5 liter Bowel. (PYREX Is Oven Safe...) adjusting cooking time, testing cake every 5 minutes after 30 minutes.

I stacked the cakes using wooden squires, Shaping cookie monsters head and mouth, cutting away part of the cake to make hands and legs.

Using a thin layer butter cream (colored blue)on the entire cake so if I missed a spot with the tip that I used for the hair it wouldn't be noticed. I used Marshmallow fondant for the eyes and hat and inside the mouth. Painting the black with black food coloring and vanilla(to water it down and paint easier)
