How To Make Owl Cupcakes

Inspired by Winnie the Pooh, Cindy is going to show you how to make Owl cupcakes. If you remember from the story Owl is a very smart bird. “The idea is supported by Rabbit’s comment to him”, “You and I have brains. The others have fluff.” Owl can spell his name “Wol”, which is a Kentish and Sussex dialect word for Owl.

Cindy is very smart also she has given you step by step instructions for how to make Owl cupcakes. Very easy to follow.

Owl Cupcakes By Cindy Littlefield

As a good friend to Winnie the Pooh, Christopher Robin and all the other residents of the Hundred Acre Wood, for that matter, Owl is ever willing to offer his opinions and advice. Solicited or not! He’s a pretty good storyteller, too, particularly when the tales are about family members — such as Uncle Robert, who survived a very blusterous day. This Father’s Day, pay tribute to your own wise guy by making Dad a batch of cupcakes he’s sure to get a hoot out of.

You’ll need:

* Batch of chocolate cupcakes
* Buttercream frosting
* Caramel Bullseye candies
* Waxed paper
* Rolling pin
* White candy melts
* Chocolate chips
* Kitchen scissors
* Black licorice sticks
* Cashews

Instructions:

1. Generously frost one third of the top of each cupcake.

2. Next, create owl eyes. For each pair, slice a caramel Bullseye candy in half to create 2 thinner circles. Place the halves between two sheets of waxed paper and use the rolling pin to flatten them slightly (they should be about 1 1/2-inch-wide).

3. Top the caramels with white candy melts and then set a chocolate chip on top of each candy melt, using dabs of frosting to hold the pieces in place. Place a pair of eyes on each cupcake, pressing them down onto the frosted portion.

4. Create facial feathers for each owl by snipping two 1 1/2-inch lengths from a piece of black licorice. Cut fringe in one end of each length. Then stick the fringed licorice pieces in place right above the eyes.

5. For the finishing touch, add cashews for the owls’ beaks.

When you have finished baking all those owl cupcakes you will need some plates to put them on. So…
