  15. 3. As you ice each cupcake, place two Oreo biscuits towards the top of the cake allowing both sides of the biscuit to hang off (to look like eyes)

  17. 5. Press the orange Smartie side on into the cupcake between the two Oreo biscuits. Your cakes should now look like Owl faces. Allow icing to set before serving.
