Beat butter until fluffy. Add icing sugar and cocoa into the butter and mix well. Add vanilla essence and milk and beat for a few more seconds. It should be of spreading consistency, so add milk accordingly.  

Let’s get to the fun part!

To create Owl Cupcakes, separate the oreo biscuit into half and use the cream side for the eyes.You need 2 for the eyes. Apply a little frosting at the back side of the biscuit and stick it on the cupcake.

Break the other piece (without the cream) into half, apply a little frosting at the back side and stick the ears for the owl.
Stick cadbury gems using frosting for the nose and center of the eyes as shown in the picture below. That’s it. Kids could even decorate these cupcakes themselves.

Wow!! Look at the Cute, Delicious, Edible Owl Cupcakes. Perfect for any occasion.

      Thank you for liking it. You can make it a day before and store them in a box/container and cover them loosely with a lid or inverted bowl.You can put frosting before or after but the cake has to cool down completely. If you have frosted the cake, just put them in a container and store them in the fridge

      Some reasons for the cupcake to turn hard – It might be due to oven mixing. Ingredients should be at room temperature.The cupcakes should be removed from the baking pan and should be cooled on a wire rack otherwise they might get over cooking in the heat and become hard.
