Angry bird cupcakes

I'd initially wanted to make another batch of Mickey Mouse cupcakes for Sonny as it's rather easy to make but Sonny had other ideas...

"Sonny, would you like more Mickey Mouse cupcakes? Daddy is happy to make you some over the weekend."

"No. Please make angry bird cupcakes."

Gawd! How do I make angry bird cupcakes? What do I use for the angry bird features? How shall I design the cupcakes?

I'd so many questions and no answers so I'd to ponder creatively for a few days.

After some soul searching and discussion with Wifey, I've decided to give it a shot!

I'm pretty happy with the end result! What's more important is that Sonny enjoys having them! I'm happy if and when Sonny's happy! Oh, the joy of fatherhood! :-)
