Hawaii Paper Party: Angry Bird Cupcakes

A couple of weeks ago I had a young gal pal of mine ask me to make her birthday cake. She said she wanted Angry Birds. Here's what I came up with:

(my kitty adds extra credit to the picture!)

I made rainbow cupcakes (just make the batter for a white cake and divide it into 5 bowls and tint each bowl a different color. spoon each color into a muffin tin and bake as usual). I topped them off with homemade buttercream. The picks I got inspiration from Dixie Delights and Crafty Kylie. They were used by hand cutting (beaks, eyebrows, mustaches) and Stampin Up punches (2 step bird, owl punch, circle punches). They didn't take as long as I expected! Much easier than trying to shape them in fondant or pipe them. I also added some flowers with some MPS cupcake stamp sentiments.

The whole crew.

When you take a bite! I used red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. I think I could've fit a violet in there too... next time, I guess!

Entering this in the Creative Card Crew's anything goes challenge, Decorate to Celebrate's anything goes challenge and the I Did it Creations anything goes challenge.

Hope you guys like em! My young gal pal sure did! :)
