ANGRY BIRDS
TULIP
KINSHIP
Inspired primarily by a sketch of stylish wingless birds, the game was first released for Apples, in December 2009. Since that time, the game has become a huge hit among all age groups. You will find angry bird merchandise like T-Shirts, mugs, key chains, phone cover and soft toys. Kids love these wingless birds so much that now you find cakes, candies and lollipops designed as angry birds.
CAKE POPS 1) 2) 3) 4) 5)
1 Betty crocker cake mix (and ingredients called for on the box). 1 container Vanilla frosting (or your favorite flavor) candy melts (white, black, red, yellow, green, blue). Lollipop sticks. White chocolate chips or white jumbo sprinkles (for eyes). Black decorating gel or black edible ink pen (for black in eyes). Black licorice foam block for drying and displaying cake pops.
Directions : 1)
Bake cake according to package directions. Let cool.
2)
Once cake is cooled, crumble cake into a fine mixture using your hands.
3)
Pour crumbled cake into a large bowl and mix in 3/4 of a container of vanilla frosting.
4)
Mix with a spoon or your hands until thoroughly combined. Roll into desired shape bird.
5)
Melt candy melts according to package directions. Dip lollipop sticks in melted candy melts just slightly and push inside the cake ball. This helps secure the stick in the cake ball. Place in the fridge for about 15 minutes to harden.
6)
Dip and coat hardened cake balls in candy melts and tap stick against the side of the bowl to shake off the excess. Push lollipop stick into the foam block to dry.
7)
Once dry, decorate each bird. I cut yellow candy melts into triangles for the beaks of the birds. I cut orange candy melts for the orange eyebrows or you could use orange sprinkles. Cut the tip off the white chocolate chips so that they are flat and use for the eyes. Cut the black licorice for the wings and feathers of the birds.
8)
For the pigs I used some melted green candy melts and made circles for the nose and ears on some parchment paper and let them harden in the fridge. Use the same technique for the top feather of the red bird and blue bird.
9)
Use additional melted candy melts as glue to attach beak, eyebrows, eyes and feathers.
