HOOOOO - cake

For Jack's birthday, the boys and I made owl cupcakes. He's had an owl nursery along with all owl decor, owl hat, and owl pictures. I thought it was appropriate to have owl cupcakes on his first birthday. I am not taking credit for this idea. Found it on, you guessed it, pinterest.
The night before, I made these eyes out of fondant left over from my CARS 2 train cake. I cut the circles with a hair mousse cap (washed first, of course) and a water bottle cap. I also made/iced the cupcakes.
On Jack's bday, I showed the boys how to add the eyes, nose, and feathers and after that, they needed little help. I can't believe it! A craft project I've done with my kids that didn't make me pull my hair out.




Even Ben's turned out super cute!!


And yummmm! The whole flock. I let them make them until they got bored. I only made about 5 myself.

Jack loved it when we sang "Happy Birthday!" 
I think he enjoyed the cupcake once he figured out what to do with it.

Today, we had a birthday party with grandparents. I made my puppy dog cake. This is the 3rd time I've made this cake. It's really fun and I love the way it turns out.
