Oreo Owl Cupcakes

These fab Oreo Owl Cupcakes are so easy to make and a big hit with the kids

You can use a variety of sweets for the eyes and beak, I used Smarties as they are all the same size and easy to work with.

These cakes need to be eaten soon after being made as the biscuit will go stale

Serves 12

5. For the decoration carefully open up the oreo biscuit, leaving the white cream on one side 
6. Place the iced oreo halves on the cupcake to create two eyes
