Angry Bird Cupcakes

While browsing pinterest for party ideas I came

 across these cupcakes and had to make them!

The idea came from the blog The Crafting Chicks.

They looked like they would be easy enough.

I am so glad I started on these the night before.

They were easy to do but very time consuming getting all the 

little details on and in place.

It was totally worth it though.

Jordan absolutely loved them and do did his party guests.

Here's how I made mine.

I asked Jordan what kind of cupcakes he wanted.

He chose chocolate so I made them using a box mix.

I always add to much mix for each cupcake so mine are more round on top.

They may be a little easier to decorate if more flat.

Then I gathered everything I would need to decorate.

Small marshmallows for eyes, mini chocolate chips for eyes & pig noses, jelly beans for feathers and ears, orange slices for beaks, black licorice for eyebrows, 

(on Crafting Chicks they used the pull apart ones which would

 have been way easier but I couldn't find them) 

and large marshmallows for pigs noses.

To make I mixed the frosting with food coloring until got the right color.

Then frosted a cupcake and dipped into matching sprinkles.

I did not use sprinkles on the pigs.

I then added the details using frosting to help them stick.

I cut marshmallows in half for noses and thirds for eyes.

Here are my finished birds and pigs!
