Cupcakes are definitely the most fun cakes. Of course it was a lot of fun making Turkey and Owl Cupcakes. SIMPLE AND TASTY INGREDIENTS = A FUN TIME
Here's what you need to do this yourself:
Cupcakes- I baked some vanilla cupcakes from scratch.
Frosting- Most of the pics of these cupcakes that I saw online use chocolate frosting but since most of my students aren't partial to chocolate I used Betty Crocker vanilla frosting. My students were able to change the vanilla frosting into whatever color they wanted by using 4 basic colors. The frosting was used to top the cupcakes as well as "gluing" down the eyes.
Oreos- 2 to make the eyes use one of the tops to make the eyebrows and eat the other top of course. You will notice that we also used them for hats on some of the turkeys. I think it made them look like they should be on Kung Fu Panda but hey. It made us smile. LOL
KitKats- the wings of the turkey. I used 3 sticks. Just be sure to push them all the way down and not too close to the edge of the cupcake.
Marshmallows- the head of the turkey. Place more towards the front. Not in the middle.
Chocolate Chips- eyes on the owl and the nose on the turkey.
Brown Sprinkles- to create the eyes on the turkey. I just poked them into the marshmallow.
Honestly by the time we were done decorating the cupcakes we weren't hungry any more. The girls ate some of the frosting they mixed, some of the extra marshmallows, KitKats, and Oreos... I may have indulged as well. LOL
Alright now, head into your kitchen, assemble the ingredients and start decorating some cupcakes, or just sit here and think about doing the craft and search for pics on Pinterest. Mine are the cutest though. So much cuter when they are created by little hands.
Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to tell a friend to tell a friend about my classes.
