Making A Life

For our Canada day celebrations I made beaver cupcakes for the little cannucks, or at least that is what they are supposed to look like. For some reason when I made them they did actually resemble the animal, now looking at the pictures I wonder how much wine I consumed while baking. Either way the kiddies ate them up.

If you want to take a run at them this is what I did, perhaps you can improve on it.

1. baked and iced cupcakes with chocolate frosting
2. for the tails I used lady finger type cookies cut in half
3. the flag is helping the tail stand up
4. ears are M&M’s
5. eyes are fondant with brown food colouring dots
6. teeth are white fondant
7. the nose is the last step and it a red M&M
