Cupcakes

These are our cupcakes for the baby shower. So cute!! We did 2 different kinds--the owl ones are chocolate with pink cream cheese icing. For the face, we put 2 oreo cookies, brown reeses pieces for centers of the eyes and an orange one turned on its side for the beak. We bought cute little brown and white polka dot liners for them and I just now noticed we didn't use them!!

For the Key lime cupcakes, I kind of cheated....I bought a lemon cake mix and added food color to it. No one knew, even my sister said she liked the key lime cupcakes! The icing on those is tinted cream cheese icing and we added a lime slice to some for some color.

The display is something my sister's brother-in-law made. It kind of looked like a set of steps. He made it rustic for his son's first birthday, so we laid some pretty tissue paper over it. Both kinds of cupcakes were a big hit! If you have a little boy party or shower, I think the owls would be cute with teal icing. I would love to hear if any of you try these!
