Betty’s Easy Steps
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C （160°C fan forced）. Line 2 x 12-hole muffin pans with paper cupcake cases.
2. Open the cake box, remove enclosed frosting sachet and reserve for another use.
Put the cake mix in a large mixing bowl and add the oil, water and eggs.
Whisk by hand or with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes, until smooth and creamy.
Divide the mixture evenly between the cupcake cases.
Bake both pans together in the oven for 18-22 minutes.
Remove from the oven and carefully transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely; for about 30 minutes.
3. Frost each of the cupcakes with frosting. Place the remainder in a disposable piping bag fitted with a small star nozzle. Place two milk chocolate button halves on each cupcake for ears. Pipe the rest of the chocolate frosting over the ears and around the edges of each cupcake to resemble tufty feathers.
4. Place 2 white chocolate buttons on each cupcake, below the ears, then attach two dark chocolate chips to the buttons with a tiny dot of any remaining chocolate frosting for the eyes.
Push one yellow or orange sugar-coated chocolate bean sideways into each cupcake just between the eyes for the beak.
Serve immediately or keep in a cool place for up to two days.
