I made them for my son's 4th birthday party. Everyone thought they were so cute!! The only thing I shouldn't have done is put the peanut butter cookies on the cupcakes the night before. They were soggy in the morning, so I put new ones on.

These were easy to make and each one had a personality. I made some with peanut butter frosting and they looked like lambs.

I made these for my 4 year olds birthday last year. I did them using mini cupcakes and smaller versions of everything. They were a HUGE hit! Everyone loved them - including the adults. They are almost as much fun to make as they are to eat and they are super simple to make!

I made these for my little girl's 38th birthday! It was an instant hit. She loves Curious George and my "little monkey" loved the gag birthday cupcakes!

We made these for my son's 3rd birthday party. They were easy enough for my 11 year old to help, and they were so adorable. A big hit at the party for both the kids and adults. My son loved them!
