Instruction

  • Unwrap Reese's Cups.
  • Marbleize white modeling chocolate with half of the brown modeling chocolate.
  • Roll out to about 1/16th inch thickness.
  • Cut 24 small rounds using a 1-inch round (fluted) cutter.
  • Use a pick tool to draw on whiskers, feathering the edges of the circles.
  • Roll out the remaining brown modeling chocolate to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  • Cut out 24 small 1/4 inch rounds using a medium round plunger cutter.
  • Cut each circle into a 3/4 moon, using the plunger cutter.
  • Roll out half of the black modeling chocolate.
  • Cut out 24 small 1/4-inch circles using a medium round plunger cutter.
  • Pinch off jelly bean size pieces of the remaining black modeling chocolate and roll them into oval noses.
  • Use the clear piping gel as "glue" to attach two whiskers, a nose, and two eyes to the front of each Reese's cup.
  • Attach two brown moon-shaped pieces to either side of the Reese's cup head for the ears.
  • Set the decorated Reese's Cup otter on the upper half of the frosting swirl on a cupcake.
  • Print out a wave cupcake wrapper, cut it out, then wrap it around your cupcake, taping the ends together.
  • Press two Whoppers into the frosting just above the top of the waves and set a candy shell in between.
  • Repeat creating a total of 12 Sea Otter Cupcakes.
