Ingredients:

  • 12 baked cupcakes
  • 24 plain doughnut holes
  • Green food coloring  
  • Green frosting  
  • Shredded coconut  
  • Yellow frosting  
  • 12 orange gumdrops  
  • Black decorator gel
  • Toothpicks

Instructions:

Cut an area out of the top center of each cupcake about the size of a quarter.  Lightly frost each cupcake with the green frosting.  Place the coconut in a large freezer bag.  Add a few drops of green food coloring. Close bag and shake to color coconut.  Place colored coconut into a large bowl. Dip the cupcakes into the coconut to cover.  Add a very small amount of yellow icing to the center of each cupcake.  Cut off one side of each doughnut hole giving it a flat surface just to one side.  Poke a toothpick into the doughnut hole.  Frost the doughnut hole with the yellow frosting.  Place the doughnut hole into the top of the cupcake, flat side up.  Taking a second doughnut hole do the same thing. Place this one on top of the first one flat side down.  Using a rolling pin flatten each gumdrop.  Cut the gumdrop in half.  Place one piece of the gumdrop into the front of the top doughnut hole.  Place the other piece of gumdrop right under it to make a beak.  Use the black gel to make the eyes.
