Lots of penguins!!


Somethings got me all ga ga about penguins these days. I made a couple of christmas cakes and decorated them with adorable penguins.
Then I started to make some oreo truffles, to use the last of my oreos and chocolate wafers, and I realised if put one on top of another they would make great penguins!!

The oreo truffles are incredibly easy, just take a packet or the equivalent of oreos or chocolate wafers (about a pound) and throw in the food processor with a packet of room temp cream cheese and whiz until you get a smooth dough. Shape into balls. Thanks to the kitchn and kraft for that handy idea!!

I then put one on top of the other, used a delicious white chocolate button for the belly, and a bit of white and black fondant for the eyes, and marzipan for the noses and bobs your uncle, everyone thinks you're a bit too obsessed with penguins these days!!

Is there fondant or marzipan on the outside - the black coating? It's very black! Great job!!

Its the oreos that make it the dark color.

Those are so cute! I want to make some for my son's 3rd grade class. Did you use fondant as well for the black pupils?
