Hands up, who here loves The Muppets??

(my hand is up) I do, I do!

I have really sweet memories of growing up watching Muppet Babies and their various movies. Their humor is timeless and innocent.

A few months back, The Queen of Swag – Vanessa, contacted me asking me to create Muppet inspired marshmallow pops for her wedding. The theme was Muppets and the wedding was going to take place at the actual Jim Henson Studios. How freakin’ cool is that?!

Although I don’t usually take orders, I was thrilled to design unique pieces for these cute little characters and to be a part of this fabulous celebration.

I began by sketching out the faces of the four chosen characters, Animal, Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog. This step is essential every time I envision a new design.

Next, I  colored my royal icings and got all my face pieces cut and sugared.

Decorating the face details was so much fun. I love getting creative with shapes and mediums to create each character’s unique look.

I used Sixlets, candy coated sunflower seeds, M&M’s, Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and red jimmies.

Once the faces where done, I cut and sugared the complimenting marshmallow pieces that would go on the pops.

I couldn’t’ wait any longer to share these with you all so I asked Vanessa if she had any photographs she could share with me.

She was kind enough to shoot me over a few  personal photos of her big day since she hasn’t received them back from the photographer.

Check out this super fun backdrop of her candy bar. The colorful balloons and gold letters are all too fabulous!

She really went all out finding sweet vendors to make her special day extra sweet.

Here are close ups of each pop character:
