I had to share with you some ARCHIVE photos
of these EASY groundhog cupcakes I did
LAST YEAR before I started blogging....

My kid thought the "shadow" was his poo poo.....KIDS THESE DAYS!! HA!

Oh the memories......

To find the printable and inspiration click HERE!

ALSO...HELLO!! I have to give my cupcake pop gone
viral Groundhog a chance to extend his 15 minutes of FAME....

Groundhog Cupcake Push Pop!

Yes...there is still time to make these!

Don't have a push pop?

WHO CARES ~ STOP the EXCUSES!

Assemble them in a drinking glass or mason jar.

To start, you need to whip up the little

candy groundhog inspired by

the idea found HERE at Family Fun.

I used a mini snickers for the body.
Mini M&M's for the ears and nose
Softened pink starburst for his pink nose.
White fondant for eyes and teeth
Black Americolor Marker for eyes

Then bake up some yummy chocolate

mini cupcakes ~ that is the best part!!

I went all out and used a fancy recipe
called Le' Pillsbury Box

Next, whip up a batch of buttercream.
I use a recipe I learned from My Cake School.

Mmmmmmmmm, delish.

Next..assemble your groundhog pop!
Push the mini cupcakes in the bottom.
Layer with Mr Punxsutawney
Add another mini cupcake on top.
Pipe some white "snow" buttercream on top his head.

Or, if you prefer your groundhog out of his hole
place him on top of the buttercream as shown below!

Here you can find Mr. Punxsutawney Phil

pondering his debut...
