My daughter is 9 years old today! I saw these adorable owl cupcakes here and here. Now, I have said before, I am not much of a baker. A box of Duncan Hines, some icing, M&M's (or Reese's Pieces), Oreos, and my own twist of cashews (optional) and you are set to make these cupcakes! If you look at the other sites, their cupcakes are flawless...so pretty. I like 'pretty' but I can't always execute 'pretty' when it comes to baking! I broke about a million Oreos while trying to separate the 'white' side for the 'eyes.' This is why I decided to use white icing and fill in the eyes...plus, it made the eyes all white without specks of Oreo cookie, and it was useful in holding the M&M 'eyes.' The fall colored M&M's are perfect for this project, because they have the brown for the eyes and the pretty gold for the nose. I also tried the orange, but my favorite is the cashew for the 'beak!' It just looks real!
We are taking these to school today to surprise her for lunch!
Happy Birthday my sweet girl, Ashlyn!

These are adorable. May have to make them "just because"! Love the cashew beak.
I think your cupcakes turned out amazingly. I looked at the other two sites as well, theirs are no more professional looking then yours. Great job and wonderful idea. I am sure that the kids went crazy over them when they saw them. Happy Birthday (late) Ashlyn.

Oh Happy Birthday to your sweet girl! What a good mama you are going to surprise her and those are the most darling cupcakes! My sis and I are starting a Kids related series and these may just have to make an appearance. It was so fun to see a new post pop up from you and I'm sure you have been crazy busy with your "shop"! Hope you are doing well and hanging in there my friend!

Hands down... That is the CUTEST cupcake I've seen in at least a year. I am trying to thing whoooooo in the world I can make these for.
This empty nest is just no fun.
No fun at all.
