Smiling Faux Mammal Desserts

The Easy Little Pandas Treats Feature Animal Faces

The Easy Little Pandas cupcakes feature an assortment of smiling faux mammals. These images of pandas come together by way of icing, chocolate chips and chocolate batter, mimicking the very images that many children draw out in coloring books.

The Bakerella blog has transferred these animals to the realm of food in this post. Bits of sprinkles and cocoa are molded into the forms of the familiar faces, enabling those who decide to make these treats to replicate the popular facial contours as they see fit. Final touches come from an edible ink pen which is used to fill in eyes and mouths here. This calligraphy piece also allows for precision, giving way to angular shapes.
