This edible Owl is a lovely little Valentine gift that can melt hearts; it is very easy to make too! I used Renshaws Chocolate Icing, Renshaws Poppy Red Decor~Ice, Renshaws White Decor~Ice and my own Yellow pre-dyed icing.

Method:

Here is your step by step guide with pictures showing you how to make the edible Valentine's owl.

1. To make the owl, I rolled the chocolate icing into a small ball size and then flattened it slightly between my palms. I then patted the sides of the icing and moulded it with my hands to make a rectangular shape.

3. The white eyes were created using circle cutters, and the pupils were black edible dragees balls. If you do not have any of those, then use a small piece of black icing fondant. I used a water pen to stick the eyes to the chocolate icing.

4. The chest is a red heart that I made from red icing fondant, I measured a heart against the owl to size the heart I needed, and then I cut it out. I then indented the heart by turn the cutter upside down and imprinting the heart upside down. I stuck the heart to the owl using a little water, the indents on the chest were made using the heart cutter upside down (i.e. the point of the heart was facing upwards).

5. To create the eyelids,, I rolled out a small piece of chocolate icing and cut the circle shapes with my cutter. I then sliced a small section of the circle to create an eyelid. I then attached the eyelid using water.

6. The wings are oval-shaped chocolate icing that I made and shaped with my fingers, I rolled out a piece of chocolate icing and then cut it in half so that my wings would be the same size. I rolled it into a ball and then flattened the ball and shaped the edges into an oval shape using my fingers. I then pushed a drinking straw into the wings to give them a little definition. These were again stuck with a small amount of water.

7. The yellow beak was made from a small piece of yellow icing fondant that was rolled into a ball and the pinched slightly with my fingers to create the point.

8. The yellow claws are circles,, and the indents for the feet were made using a veiner (Dresden tool) however if you do not have one then please use a cocktail stick. Again roll a small piece of yellow icing fondant and cut it in half so that your feet are the same size. Roll the icing into a small ball and flatten it. Then indent the icing fondant to create claws.
