Yeah I know, right?? Too stinkin’ cute. Well…maybe not to Pine (’cause owls freak her out), but this is my take on the coolest kid Halloween/autumn cupcakes evah!!! Isn’t it too funny…like the big owl is thinking “Will you get the heck off of my face!?” I was going to put the stamped owl on the band going around the bottom (the complete NORMAL thing to do), but I decided it was just plain funny over his eyes, so I went for it!! This way you can really see the sentiment well. Just a whimsical idea for your autumn fest or Halloween party. The girls actually made the rest of the owls after I took this picture and did a great job, so it is a suitable thing for kids (8 and up) to take on as a project as well, just fill the piping bag for them!!
Supplies:
Stamps: Wise Owl, Spooky Sweets II {Papertrey Ink}
Paper: Vintage Cream
Ink: Dark Chocolate
Ribbon: Dark Chocolate Twill
CUPCAKE: Ice cupcake. To make eyebrows and ears put your chocolate icing in a piping bag (if you don’t have a piping bag, just put your canned icing in a ziploc bag and cut a small part of the corner of the bag off.
Eyes: Mini oreos, a little bit of icing for glue and an M&M.
Nose: A yellow M&M on its side
For the Band: I just cut a strip of vintage cream CS, then used a glue dot to close it in the back. The glue dot is nice, because it can be repositional if you need to adjust it.
