Angry Birds Part 2 {Yellow Bird}

If that's not really his name, I'm sorry.  I was serious when I said that I've never played.  I let my son pick the next to be posted, and he chose yellow, because he thought we should save the best {red bird} for last.  So, yellow it is.


For this little guy, I used a Hershey Kiss cutter I got from Hobby Lobby over Valentine's Day...if you don't have that one, just use a balloon and lop of the bottom or you can even hand cut if you'd like.



To make Angry Yellow Bird you will need:
  • Black piping consistency frosting for outlining
  • Ivory, white, black, red, yellow and orange flood consistency RI {I forgot to include ivory in the photo}

To begin, I outlined the shape of yellow bird in black

After giving the outline at least thirty minutes to dry, I used ivory to add the tummy area, white for eyes, and filled in the head feathers and dotted the eyes with black.


When I am working on a character cookie, I usually leave my laptop open beside me so I can look at the picture while I work.  You can also use your mobile phone, OR, print out the image.  Regardless, I find it REALLY helps to have an image to refer to.

Let this dry for another 30 minutes, and then fill the rest of the cookie with yellow flood icing.


At this point the cookie needs to dry for 4-5 hours.

Finally, I added the facial details.  I used black icing to outline the area where I planned on putting the beak, and red flood icing for angry red eyebrows. 


Then after allowing the beak outline to dry for a bit, I filled it with orange. 


When that was completely dry, I used a black food color pen to outline the eyes and fix his beak. See how it ran together a little bit?  All it takes is a swipe with a black marker and problem solved.

Tada!  Angry yellow bird.

Angry Birds Cookies Part 1 {Pig}

Since Easter is about to come and go, if you haven't snagged these from Target, you better do it quick.  Besides being cute Easter cutters, I also used the bunny to make the first cookie in my Angry Birds collection.


If you don't already know what Angry Birds is, don't feel bad.  Neither did I until my seven year old son enlightened me.  Long story short, it's a cell phone game where killer birds are on a mission to destroy little green pigs hiding in random structures...

Okay, maybe that makes the game sound a little violent, but in reality, it's very cute and from what I hear, VERY addictive.

To make the Angry Bird Pig I used the bunny cutter from my Target Easter set, and trimmed him up a little.


After allowing my cookie to completely cool, I prepared my icing.  For this I needed:
  • black icing for piping outline
  • red, white, lime green, leaf green and black flood icing

To begin, outline the cookie as shown.  Then, using light green flood icing, add the snout and use black for the insides of the ears.


Let the first steps set for about five minutes, then using black flood icing, quickly add eyeballs, and nostrils.  If you are worried about bleeding, skip the black areas and add them LATER after the cookie is completely dry.

To finish up the flooding steps, fill in the remaining areas with leaf green flood icing, and add a small drop of red for a mouth.  Let dry overnight.


To finish up Mr. Pig, use food color markers to add the final details.
I outlined his eyes and mouth, and went around his snout with green, although it was okay without it {I tend to get a little hung up on details like that}

When you are finished, you will have this little guy...

who happens to be cookie #1 of this set.
