This cupcake captures the essence of a fall scene with a haystack made from rice krispie treats covered in shredded mini wheats. A fondant pumpkin and chocolate-covered espresso beans represent pumpkins and crows, while buttercream piping forms the details of the crows.
Instructions
Pipe grass over the entire surface of the cupcake using tip #233.
Cut a small rectangle of rice krispie treats. Paint with piping gel and dip it into shredded mini wheats to resemble a haystack.
Place the haystack onto the cupcake.
Mold orange fondant into a pumpkin shape with a stem and attach it to the cupcake along with two chocolate-covered espresso beans.
Pipe feet and beaks with orange buttercream using tip #2.
Pipe wings and feathers with black buttercream using tip #1.
Pipe eyes with white buttercream using tip #2, then flatten the points. Finish the eyes with black buttercream.
