These cakes are from the book "Hello, Cupcake" that my mother-in-law gave me for Christmas. So much fun to make!
The Penguin ones are for a friend's birthday. No, he's not 8, but he really likes penguins. And the other ones were just for fun.
Two legs, mashed potatoes with gravy, peas and carrots, rice, and chocolate pudding.
Right now these are wingless penguins. Once they reach their destination, they will each be equipped with 2 halves of a thin mint.
I had 3 cupcakes left over and some icing and decided to try a few things. I think I like the design on the bottom left the best.
