They are little owls decorated with halved oreo biscuits, halved malteasers and orange jelly beans. They look a bit like Geekling's favourite character Hoot, from ABC's Giggle & Hoot.
It took 3 packets of oreos to get enough halves for a dozen cupcakes, but the remaining bare sides are sitting with the left over malteasers waiting to go through some home made ice cream, perhaps with a touch of my home made Baileys - mmmmm.
Confession: I used packet cake mix. I normally make everything from scratch, but my mother-in-law made the most amazing cupcakes and when I asked for the recipe she confided that it was ALDI 'Hillers' brand vanilla cake mix. That stuff is only 75 cents a box! And it makes the most divine cupcakes! So its my go-to for cupcakes now.
I did however make the frosting and it was awesome - creamy, buttery but not too sweet. I posted the icing recipe on my new Thermomix blog I am going to use to post my fave recipes and my own conversions.
