I have seen these owl cupcakes all over the web, and you can make them even cuter with a little extra piping - but the goal this month was to make something cute fast. Here is how I did it.
Split the Oreos in half - this is an art and takes some practice. I have seen online that some people stick them in a microwave for a few seconds, but I didn't find that helpful.
Cut the 'non-frosted' side into thirds. I found it best to cut right along the "Oreo" logo in the center.
Discard (or eat) any broken or extra cookie pieces. I used candy melts for the center of the eye, but I saw people using M&M's and Junior Mints as well. Whatever you have around will probably work. I used a bit of melted white chocolate as glue. Again, that is what I had handy.
I used more candy melts (orange) for the beak. I simply cut them in half. Again, you could use many things. I even saw someone used some banana Runts.
I used a very light chocolate frosting. I used my standard 1M tip. Another fun way to do this would be to lay down a layer of frosting as your glue, layer the parts, then come back with something like the grass tip to add texture around the eyes and nose.
Frost the cupcake. I started in the center and worked my way around.
Place eyes. Pupil placement is important - it determines the facial expression on your little owl.
Add the 1/3 Oreo as the tufts on top of the owls head.
Finally the nose. And you have a really cure little owl cupcake.
