#486: Penguin Cupcakes


I made these penguin cupcakes to go along with Allison's "Happy Feet" Themed birthday party and her non-happy feet cake. :)  Mine definitely didn't turn out as cute as the original photo but I thought they were cute non-the-less. 

Vanilla or chocolate cupcakes
Vanilla frosting
Chocolate cookies (Girl Scout Thin Mints or Keebler Fudge Shoppe Grasshopper Cookies -- 3 halves per penguin)
Dried apricots, cut into triangles for the beak and feet (I used dried mangoes)
Brown M and M Minis

Make a batch of vanilla cupcakes according to package directions.  Make or purchase 2-3 cups of vanilla frosting. Save some for decorating glue.


Decorate as shown, cutting the cookies in half with a very sharp, non-serrated knife and using extra frosting to attach the apricot beak and the M and M's eyes.
