Geoff the Robot cupcakes for Grant Imahara
My friend Grant had a birthday this weekend and since my gift is usually cupcakes I try to make them customized just for the bday person.
Grant is known for being on Mythbusters and he also has an impressively robotic resume. He has worked on BattleBots but he even worked on R2D2 – the ultimate loveable robot. He also designed and created Craig Ferguson’s sidekick Geoff Peterson on the Late Late Show. Geoff The Robot has quite the following and is very popular.
I took them to Grant’s big joint birthday bash he shared with our other friend Chrissy, and they were a hit! Skull/Geoff cupcakes also happen to fit right in with the costume/Halloween theme!
Geoff the Robot cupcakes for Grant Imahara
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Because I am a total perfectionist, I just couldn’t find the right sized skull for the cupcakes. Just as I was about to hand carve them (because I am nuts) – good ol’ Wilton came to my rescue and I found these sugar skulls
Geoff is most known for his glowing blue eyes and signature mohawk. For the eyes I used a #3 tip and piped in some frosting to secure the edible sugar balls – they totally looked like his blue optic eyes.
For the mohawk I just simply took a Jumbo Heart Sprinkle
My ‘Geoff heads’ went on top of Root Beer cupcakes covered in ganache. The dark ganache was a good backdrop for the white skulls.
Cool! I’ve always liked Geoff, and Grant!
Nice! Those cupcakes are seriously cool 😀 I love watching MythBusters!
SO awesome! I remember custom birthday cupcakes from your one year and know how truly special that is! And I LOVE Geoff Peterson! (The photo of him on the Wikipedia page is one I took at SDCC a couple of years ago!)
I’m jealous you get to be friends with a Mythbuster
