Owl Cake

For my sons fourth birthday we made an owl cake. I probably should have done something a little more...manly. Like a truck or a racetrack or something awesome like that. But...we did an owl. Deal.

Here is my lovely baking assistant.

We found the darling cake in the family fun magazine. You can find the original recipe/directions here.

This was my version . It is just lines of cupcakes, coconut, mini choc chips, thin chocolate cookies and a few extras. I actually love the way it turned out. He looks pretty happy, eh?
