Also, I used whole milk and lemon juice instead of buttermilk, again because it was what I had on hand.\u00a0The cupcakes domed nicely and were very sturdy. One box made enough cupcakes to have 12 large and 24 mini owls.<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks to Kimball, who split the eyes for me. I&#8217;d suggest actually buying Oreos instead of a knockoff (which is, unfortunately, what I did). The mini Oreos came apart very easily, but the large cookies weren&#8217;t Oreos and they were a pain in the neck to separate!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/christine.kimballlarsen.com\/old\/_Media\/dscf8215.jpeg\" alt=\"DSCF8215\" \/><span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/christine.kimballlarsen.com\/old\/_Media\/dscf8211.jpeg\" alt=\"DSCF8211\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a super-cute project that, while time consuming, is very fun and relatively easy to make.
