Angry Birds Cupcake Toppers

The boys and I had a few Preschool Parties to attend for Halloween last week. We were asked to bring a treat to share with the other children…

um okay! Twist my rubber arm. I love creating fun little goodies and just had to make something that would coordinate with the boys’ Angry Birds Costumes.

These Angry Bird Cupcake Toppers were just the ticket.

I used modelling chocolate to create Red Birds, Yellow Birds and Green Pigs. You could use Fondant or Gum Paste too perhaps but I like the taste of modelling chocolate better.

Simply add 1/2 cup of light corn syrup to 1 bag of {melted} white Wilton Candy Melts. Spread out on a cookie sheet and allow to sit for at least three hours {covered}. You can find more modelling chocolate goodies here.

I sectioned off my modelling chocolate and added food colouring.

Then I rolled pig bodies and pig ears.

I shaped everything by hand. My only tool was a toothpick.

Here are the red bird bodies.

And completed red birds. I used icing sugar to prevent the chocolate from sticking to my fingers and work surface.

Yellow bird bodies.

I made 24 birds/pigs in total and took 12 to each party. They tried to slide off of my first cupcakes so for the second batch I put a toothpick through the topper and into the cupcake.
