The First and Cutest Porg Cupcakes Ever!
As of the time of this posting, nobody else has published Porg Cupcakes on the internet, which I can find.The Last Jedi is not even released yet, but this last weekend I spent my weekend figuring out how to make a cupcake look like a porg, as we all enjoy Star Wars themed party food.
I wanted to figure it out in time for Winter Break School Parties, Christmas Parties, Hanukkah Parties, and of course Birthday Parties!
Oh did I mention "The Last Jedi" Screening Party?!?!?!
Porg Cupcakes Took Me Several Tries!
After four attempts, I think I finally nailed it.My goal was to keep this dessert easy enough for anybody to make, whether they have cake decorating experience or not.
I didn't want it to be complicated, made out of fondant, or fancy decorating tricks. The printable recipe is below.

How to Make Porg Cupcakes!
I made Porgkin Spice pumpkin spice cupcakes with mascarpone frosting and used some Wilton's white sparkling sugar on the belly to help them fit into our theme.
I cut a small slit into the cupcake where I inserted this oreo into the cupcake, using a little bit of the candy melt like edible glue to hold the cookie in the cupcakes.
I used a decorating bag (but you can use a ziploc and just cut a small tip off one bottom corner) with white frosting to make the nose, mouth, chin area.
I also make two white mounds for the base of his eyes and used cornstarch on my finger to press the frosting flat.
Then I used a little tan colored frosting in a decorating bag to make the mouth, nose, and small line under his lip, as well as his fur on top of his head.
I didn't have brown or tan food coloring on hand, so I just mixed a bit of my melted chips into the frosting to color it.
I used black decorating gel for his eyes and then put a small bit of white on the top of each black eye, as seen in the photos above.
I then took a toothpick to add some melted chocolate and salted caramel melts to the wings to give it that feathery appearance.
I also brought some of the caramel and tan frosting down his cheeks onto his wings.
Not difficult at all. I did place this in the freezer between placing the head on the cupcake and the wings, to help each set up properly while decorating.
May the Force Be With You!
