These were a big hit when I made them for the Ultimate Star Wars party (here)
It’s the ‘do that makes the woman.
ingredients:
cupcakes
cream cheese frosting
black frosting
heart quins
Oreos
Normally I’d go all out and go nuts with the fondant (like with the Superhero cupcakes), but I wanted to take an easier route here and do it all in frosting for a change.
Take your cooled cupcake and spread a THIN smooth layer of frosting on top. I used cream cheese frosting (recipe, here) because it has a slight off white tint to it, which I liked for the complexion.
Using a frosting tinted black, I do one side of the hair first. (We are going for a middle part, here.)
Add the other side of the hair and then the eyes. Place a little heart quin for the lips.
Now for the hair – take an Oreo and stick it to the side of the cupcake liner, using the black frosting. Do the same for the other side. To get rid of the ‘white line’ i.e. creamy center, simply run a thin layer of black frosting down the center of the sandwich cookie.
I’m sure these would be served at a high tea for the Leader of the Rebel Alliance.
Kid's lunches, simple dinners and a whole lot of geeky baking.
these are the cutest cupcakes ever! I can’t wait to try making them!
Just how do you make black frosting? What colors do you have to mix togother?
You are a genius!
If you want to save a step, they have oreos with chocolate icing.
Am going to make these for my son’s birthday. Did you have any problem with the oreo cookies sticking???? what kind of icing did you use?
I LOVE THESE!!!!
i need to make them just because.
These cupcakes are AWESOME! Wow! Thanks for sharing.
After a recent Star Wars marathon we had while sick, my daughter informed me that she wants a Star Wars birthday.
I definitely want to try these cupcakes. Thankfully I have until October to figure out what else I’m going to do. :/
These are FABULOUS! My almost 5 year old daughter, who is usually the girly girl, informed me she wants a star wars party. I have been really trying to steer her away from it…until i saw THESE! I’m so excited now! Thank you so much!
wow these are amazing and dont look hard at all cant wait to try and make them!!
Perfect for my 6 year old daughter’s Star Wars birthday party!
Really cool cupcake.
(I traveled 8 ‘Via’ to reach here by the way)
I made these for my son’s Star Wars birthday party along with the Vader and Yoda ones, and wouldn’t you know, ALL the girl’s at the party rushed to get one of the Leia ones. They were so cute, thank you for the idea!
I went for the retro look and gave Leah blue hair. Super cute!
Thank you, these are fab. I made them for a party today.
So cute and clever! I made these for my hubby on his 39th birthday (Christmas Day!!) and he loved them. Thanks for sharing.
So cute!! Cant wait to try them.
I made these recently and posted the pic – loads of comments from my friends! It took so little time when I used ready made up cakes so almost instant gratification for two Star Wars obsessives! Thanks……..
These are adorable! I love the Oreo buns!
