Categories: Cakes, Snacks, Novelty
     Yield: 12 servings

MMMMM-------------------------MUFFINS--------------------------------
   280 g  Butter; softened
   280 g  Golden caster sugar
   200 g  Eelf-raising flour
     2 tb Cocoa powder
     6 md Eggs

MMMMM--------------------ICING & DECORATION--------------------------
   200 g  Butter; softened
   280 g  Icing sugar; sifted
     1 tb Cocoa powder
          Liquorice allsorts, sweets
          - or candy
    12    Paper baking cups, brown

 Set oven @ 190°C/380°F/gas 5. Line a 12-cup muffin
 tin with brown muffin cases. Beat the first 5
 ingredients to a smooth batter and spoon between the
 cases, almost filling them to the top. You may have a
 little left over. (Alternatively, use a fairy cake or
 cup cake tin for smaller ones - again, try to find some
 brown paper cases. You should be able to make 24 "owls"
 if you make them in the smaller cake tin.) Bake for
 20-25 minutes until risen and spongy. Cool on a rack.

 Beat the butter and icing sugar until smooth, and then
 add the cocoa powder, mixing well. Slice off the very
 tops of the cakes and cut each piece in half. Spread a
 generous layer of icing over each cake.

 Working on one cake at a time, take a pair of the large
 round liquorice allsorts sweets/candy that are yellow or
 pink with black centres. * Sit the eyes on top of the
 cake; then add the two pieces of cake cut from the top
 (curved edge up) behind the eyes but slightly slanted
 towards the eyes - to make the eyebrows or owl's ears.
 Finish by adding a piece of orange or pink sweet/candy,
 in between the eyes to the front, for the beak.

 Watch the owls "fly" off the table when the children
 see them!
