For Decorating: – Yellow cupcakes, baked and cooled – Oreo cookies, 2 cookie halves with cream filling for each cupcake – White, chocolate, light brown, and dark brown frosting – Orange cookie frosting

Pipe a base layer of white frosting on each cupcake. Use the light brown frosting to create the body feathers of the owl, overlapping the frosting on the middle of the cupcake.

Use the dark brown frosting to create the wings on either side of the cupcake.  Place 2 Oreo halves, with the cream filling side up, side by side at the top of the cupcake.
