Rubber Ducky, You're the One!

Up close and personal

 These fantastic yellow rubber ducky cupcakes are so easy to make and they are just so adorable! Perfect for any baby shower, kid's party, or just for someone who loves rubber duckies (as these were). They do take a little bit of time due to the freezing time needed, but aren't they worth it?

 To make these you will need:
3/4 can of white frosting (melted, tinted to the color you choose in a tall, deep bowl)
1/4 can of white frosting
Mini M&M candies
Orange Starburst candies (1/2 of each candy for the bill. Microwave slightly to soften and shape.)
Jumbo marshmallows (cut diagonally for tails)
Donut holes (for heads. Plain works best)
Baked cupcakes in liners

My rubber ducky army!

Freeze cupcakes for 1-2 hours. Attach marshmallow tail with frosting. Attach donut hole head with frosting. Freeze 1 hour. Once the tails and heads are securely fastened, hold the cupcake by the bottom and submerge completely in the melted, tinted frosting. Remove quickly and hold over the bowl until no more frosting drips off. Place on a cooling rack. Press one shaped bill onto the mouth area of the ducky. Attach M&M candy eyes (M side in!) with white frosting. Repeat until you have a ducky army capable of conquering any bathtub!


Variations:
Instead of melted frosting, spread on with a knife for a textured look.
For a fluffy ducky look, roll in tinted shredded coconut after frosting.
