The secret to the cupcakes...


Cupcakes! Owl Cupcakes! All kinds of fun cupcakes!



The name of the book is Hello Cupcake!

We love this book!

My daughter got it from the Scholastic Book Fair at school and we love it.

They were actually easier than they looked.

2 ten year olds did a pretty wonderful job with the recipe.

Here are some basic decorating elements to the owls:


Mom Owl


Regular sized cupcake
White of the eyes-oreo cookie~the side with the frosting left on it.


Darks of the eyes-Junior mints

Ears-the other side of the oreo cut into 2 pieces with a serrated knife-frosting piped onto them for feathers


Nose-yellow Mike and Ike


Baby Owl


Mini cupcakes

Mini Oreos

Mini M&M for dark of eyes

Runt for nose


Frosting tip:

Put the frosting in a ziplock and snip 1/8 inch from the tip.

Spring break has been tons of fun!




I am now going to settle in and enjoy your latest posts ")



Happy Easter everyone!

Happy Easter to you too - those cupcakes look pretty darn good. And they look like they have extra frosting, so that is even better! ;-) I might have a hard time eating puppies though. Since frosting is involved, I could get over the fear. The owls looked great as well!
