  1. Hi, Please can you tell me how did you get the cookie monster on the mixing bowl?

    • Hi Jenny,
      Thanks for contacting us! The cookie monster bowl is a combination of a large measuring jug (at least) 2 liters and a cookie monster decal that is used for mixers. Here are the links to sample products on Amazon. The decal is 7 inches wide, so make sure the jug is wider.
