These owl cupcakes are great for school parties and easy enough even for the preschool set. My daughter and her friend had so much fun making them after school yesterday. Clearly, we’re getting ready for the Halloween sugar rush at our house — that’s my daughter below with a cupcake in one hand, a lollipop in the other, and a cookie on her shirt. I think that’s what happiness looks like. ?

How To Make Halloween Owl Cupcakes

Separate the Oreos and press the halves with the filling onto the frosting to make the eyes. Squeeze out a large circle of black decorating gel to make the eyeballs, and add a candy nose in the middle.

  • The owls are so cute! With a partner I made 125 of these for a Halloween party at my daughters school. What a hit! They were pretty simple to assemble. Making sure the Owls looked nice and “white” was the only challenge. Thank you for sharing!
