How to Make Kitty Cupcakes

One common way to decorate cupcakes is to make each one look like a specific animal. Kitty cupcakes are appropriate for a wide variety of occasions, such as Halloween, a child's birthday party, a school party or even a celebration in honor of your cat's birthday. You can adjust the colors of the cupcakes to fit with the color scheme for the occasion. Kitty cupakes are simple enough for school-age children to help decorate. Add this to my Recipe Box.

Spoon some white icing into your icing bag to use later.

Dye the remaining icing the color you would like the cat's fur to be.

Spread the colored icing on the top of each cupcake with a spatula. Smooth it out for a short-haired kitty or form it into ridges for a fluffy kitty.

Squeeze two round dollops of white icing from the bag onto the cupcake, just below center. The dollops should be touching one another and should take up about half of the width of the cupcake. They make the cat's muzzle.

Cut the black licorice strings into pieces measuring about 2 inches long.

Insert three licorice pieces through each ball of white icing and into the cupcake. These make the cat's whiskers.

Put the small pink candy at the top of the muzzle for the kitty's nose.

Put two candy-coated chocolates on for the cat's eyes.

Cut the wafer cookies into triangles and place two of them onto each cupcake for the kitty's ears.

Tips

- You can substitute other types of candies to make each of the features on the kitty's face.
