Adults are just big kids (Angry Birds cupcakes)

Nick like most people are addicted to Angry Birds. On a random day I decided that I would send Angry Bird cupcakes to his office. Ordering it would be extremely costly so I decided to make them.

INGREDIENTS
  • Sugar and Sprinkles (Blue, Yellow and Red)
  • Mini Marsh-mellows  (Pig's teeth)
  • Mini Chocolate chips (Eyeball pupils and pig nose)
  • Jelly Beans (Pigs Ears)
  • Large Marsh-mellows (Cut in slices for birds bellies and pig snouts)
  • Black Licorice rope (Eyebrow 3/4 inch long)
  • Cupcake mix (I used Betty Crocker's FUN De Middles)
  • Gel food colouring (Makes the icing darker)
  • Icing
  • Yellow covered Jordan Almonds: Nest Eggs

Instructions
1) Mix all the necessary colouring. You want all five colours mixed. (Red, Blue, Yellow, light Green and dark Green)
2) Frost the cupcakes with the base colour.
3) Place the sprinkles in three bowls. Dunk the cupcakes in the bowl until the entire cupcake is covered with sprinkles
4) Add the belly by cutting a large marsh mellow into thirds. Use one for the stomach.
5)Cut an Orange slice into three parts. Using  one per cupcake for the beak. Pointy side downwards.
6)Place the sharp edge of the mini chocolate into the mini marsh mellow for the eyes and place them close together for the eyes (Angry eyes)
7) Add the Licorice ropes for the angry eyebrows.

How to make the Pig.
1) Cover the cupcake with light green icing.
2) For the Pig's snout, cut a large marsh mellow in half and frost it with green frosting until it's covered.
3) Use 2 mini chocolate in the snout for nostrils.
4) Use green jelly beans for ears.
5) Use a Licorice rope for the mouth and red frosting for the tongue.

The Nest.
1) Using a piping bag filled with dark green frosting. You want to start in the middle squeezing and pulling in an upward motion to form grass. Keep on going around until completed. Add three yellow almonds in the center as eggs.
