Yesterday was my sister's birthday, and she really likes owls - they seem to be a pretty popular bird lately. So when I saw these cupcakes, I decided to try and make them for her. I was a little unsure of how they would turn out, but I think they're kinda cute and they actually look somewhat close to the ones from my cupcake book:
It was really easy to do, you just need a few things:
I used a makeshift piping bag to create the feathers (I added cocoa powder to the frosting to harden it up so that the feathers would stand up-right). The hardest part was separating the Oreos (or cheaper "Kid-O's" brand that I found at the store..) evenly, so I microwaved them for a few seconds to soften them up.
If you are a cupcake freak like me, I totally recommend this book - it has the coolest ideas, like these for April Fool's Day
Hope you have an inspiring weekend!
They were tasty too!
ReplyDeleteHello there, Happy Fool's Day!!!
ReplyDeleteA man is in a bar and falling off his stool every couple of minutes. He is obviously drunk. So the bartender says to another man in the bar: "Why don't you be a good Samaritan and take him home."
The man takes the drunk out the door and to his car and he stumbles at least ten times. They drive along and the drunk points out his house to the man. He stops the car and the drunk stumbles up the steps to his house with the man.
The drunk's wife greets them at the door: "Why, thank you for bringing him home for me, but where's his wheel chair?"
Happy April Fool's Day!
