Winne the Pooh - Hoot Owl Cupcake Recipe

As a good friend to Winnie the Pooh, Christopher Robin, and all the other residents of the Hundred Acre Wood, for that matter, Owl is ever willing to offer his opinions and advice. Solicited or not! He's a pretty good storyteller, too, particularly when the tales are about family members -- such as Uncle Robert, who survived a very blusterous day.

Materials:
- Batch of chocolate cupcakes
- Buttercream frosting
- Caramel Bullseye candies
- Waxed paper
- Rolling pin
- White candy melts
- Chocolate chips
- Kitchen scissors
- Black licorice sticks
- Cashews

Instructions:

1. Generously frost one third of the top of each cupcake.

2. Next, create owl eyes. For each pair, slice a caramel Bullseye candy in half to create 2 thinner circles. Place the halves between two sheets of waxed paper and use the rolling pin to flatten them slightly (they should be about 1 1/2-inch-wide).

3. Top the caramels with white candy melts, and then set a chocolate chip on top of each candy melt, using dabs of frosting to hold the pieces in place. Place a pair of eyes on each cupcake, pressing them down onto the frosted portion.

4. Create facial feathers for each owl by snipping two 1 1/2-inch lengths from a piece of black licorice. Cut fringe in one end of each length. Then stick the fringed licorice pieces in place right above the eyes.

5. For the finishing touch, add cashews for the owls' beaks.

ABOUT THE MOVIE
Walt Disney Animation Studios returns to the Hundred Acre Wood with “Winnie the Pooh,” the first big-screen Pooh adventure from Disney animation in more than 35 years. With the charm, wit and whimsy of the original featurettes, this all-new movie reunites audiences with the philosophical “bear of very little brain” and friends Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Kanga, Roo—and last, but certainly not least, Eeyore, who has lost his tail. “Ever have one of those days where you just can’t win, Eeyore?” asks Pooh. Owl sends the whole gang on a wild quest to save Christopher Robin from an imaginary culprit. It turns out to be a very busy day for a bear who simply set out to find some honey. Inspired by three stories from A.A. Milne’s books in Disney’s classic, hand-drawn art style, “Winnie the Pooh” hits theaters in Europe and Latin America in Spring 2011; the U.S. release date is July 15, 2011.

My favorite car would have to be Lighting McQueen! The reason is because he is like me, with the can do attitude, friendly, and not giving up on anything he puts his mind too, and very happy. My days can not go so well, but I always have that can do attitude and just put my mind to it and not give up with a smile on my face. Friendly thats me for sure I am a kind, friendly person that offer a lot of love and is surround by lots of best friends just like him and Mater!

If I would win this prize pack I would have to give it to my little cousin who is in love with cars...his favorite is Mater. I remember when he first saw the preview to cars 2, the excitement was and still is seen in his face. From this prize pack and him seeing this movie will bring him even more excitement!

My thoughts and our experience:

We arrived at our destination, Star Fleet Marina in Kemah. This was just short drive from Houston to Kemah.

As we boarded the boat, we found our table was waiting for us. We were greeted by the wonderful crew, and our entertainer for the evening.

Once the boat took off, we were told the dinner buffet was open. Check this out. Fish, Chicken, Salad, veggies, fruit, mash potatoes, and a roll. The food was delicious!!! And after dinner, dessert was served. Not pictured here but it was a chocolate cake.

Our evening was amazing. We have never been on such a Romantic evening like this one. The entertainer even played some of our favorites which my husband and I sang along to. For our honeymoon we went on a cruise and I was seasick the entire time and was unable to enjoy myself, but no worries on this cruise. No seasickness and no pregnancy sickness either. The evening was just perfect. It was so perfect that someone even got proposed to...

Congratulations to Mark and Melony...And they were not the only ones celebrating on the boat. We had alot of couples celebrating their anniversaries, and some celebrating birthdays.

My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves. And this will not be our last cruise.

***Disclosure-No compensation was received. We were invited to take the adventure of a cruise for this review. These are our honest opinions.

Happy Independence Day from Winnie the Pooh!
