Ingredients
  

  • 6 Prepared Cupcakes
  • 6 Oreo Cookies
  • 1 Can White Frosting
  • Orange Candy Melts
  • 1 Cup Shredded Coconut
  • Edible Candy Eyes

Instructions
 

  • First, Frost cupcakes with the white frosting.
  • Then, take the cupcake, turn it upside down and dip it into the coconut.
  • Next, Set it back on the pan and pat the coconut down gently. You could also just sprinkle the coconut on as well.
  • After, grab some of the Oreo cookies and gently twist apart. Take the half without the frosting and cut in half.
  • Then, use the Oreo with the frosting and scrape out a small V-shape. This will make your penguin cupcakes head. 
  • cut one of the candy melts into fourths. You’ll need 3 pieces per cupcake.
  • To make the face, add 2 eyes under the “V” shape on the frosted Oreo.
  • Next, use one piece of the orange candy melt and place under the eyes to represent the beak.
  • After you have made the penguin face, you will want to place a whole candy melt behind the head, as this will allow the face to stay up and not fall down.
  • Put the Penguin face in front of the candy melt and push down into the cupcake.
  • Then, you will take the Oreo halves and place one on each side of the cupcake to represent the wings/feathers. Then stick 2 pieces of the candy melts on the bottom of the cupcake to represent the feet.
  • Finally, you can have fun and enjoy your Penguin cupcakes!!

Notes

  • Use fresh cupcakes and high-quality Oreos for the best taste and appearance.​
  • Gently press the Oreo pieces into the frosting to ensure they adhere well without disrupting the coconut coating.​
  • For added flair, consider adding small accessories like mini scarves or hats made from fondant or colored sugar.
