Steps:
- Bake cupcakes; remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Tint coconut to desired shade of yellow. (I used 5 liquid drops in 1 cup of small cut coconut flakes.) Set aside. Slit orange gumdrops in the center but not all the way through. Sprinkle a little sugar in the slit so the "beak" won't seal back up. Set aside. Flatten and shape the yellow gumdrops into wing shapes. You will need a right and a left "wing" for each cupcake. (I paired them up as I went along.) Set aside. ASSEMBLY: Working on one cupcake at a time, generously frost a cupcake. Pile on a thick layer of the yellow coconut. Use 2 upside down chocolate chips for the eyes. (You may need to move a little of the coconut out of the way first with a toothpick then dab a bit of frosting on the chip.) For the beak, center a split orange gumdrop just below the eyes. For the wings, I used a dab of frosting on the bottom side of the edge that joins onto the cupcake then inserted 2 toothpicks into the cupcake for support until set. Allow several hours to set.
