I made the cupcakes with a mix, which felt like a failure, but once I was 3 hours into the decorating I was happy not to have stressed about the cake recipe. While they cooled, I carefully microwaved the Oreos so that I could separate the cookies from the cream. I had to do this for 24 regular sized Oreos and for 48 minis.
Next, I had to cut the plain cookie side in half for the minis and into thirds for the regular size. These I attached to the cooled, frosted, cupcakes as the owl ears. The cream sides of the cookies were added as eyes on both the regular size and mini cupcakes.
I then did the feather frosting on the ears and around the eyes on both sizes.
Here's some of the flock. The mommy owls have Junior Mint pupils while the minis have Reese's Pieces. They all have Runt's bananas for their beaks.
Check out all the mommies and babies! All those eye were a bit freaky!

Okay Vanessa, bring on your cupcakes!

OMG!These are terrific! I checked our library system and they have two copies of Hello Cupcake, so eventually I'm going to have to do a little experimenting myself.
Those cupcakes are too cute for words. I must send a link to your blog to my sister, Judy -- she'll be all over these owls! OMG, sooooo cute.
