Adorable Beaver Cupcakes

Looking for a cute baking project that’s fun for all ages? These Beaver Cupcakes are the perfect mix of creative and delicious! Made with chocolate cake, classic candies, and a little frosting magic, they’re guaranteed to make people smile. Great for school treats, woodland-themed parties, or a baking day with kids.

• 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients on the box) or your favorite homemade recipe

• Chocolate buttercream frosting (in a piping bag with a Wilton 1M star tip)

• Brown M&M’s or Sugar Babies for ears

• Brown mini M&M’s for the nose

• White Tic Tacs for teeth (2 per cupcake)

• Nutter Butter cookies (split and cream removed) for tails

• Sugar candy eyes (available in most baking aisles or craft stores)

1. Bake your cupcakes according to the box or recipe directions. Allow them to cool completely.

2. Using your piping bag, pipe a stacked swirl of chocolate frosting on each cupcake.

3. Gently press half a Nutter Butter cookie into the back of the frosting swirl for the beaver’s tail (pattern side facing inward).

4. Add candy eyes toward the top center of the frosting.

5. Place two brown M&M’s or Sugar Babies above the eyes for ears.

6. Add one mini brown M&M just under the eyes for the nose.

7. Slide two white Tic Tacs into the frosting just beneath the nose, hanging slightly over the cupcake rim to mimic the beaver’s teeth.

🎉 That’s it—your beaver cupcake is ready to make someone smile!
