Koala Cupcakes RSPCA Cupcake Day @ Not Quite Nigella

Koala Cupcakes – RSPCA Cupcake Day

August 17th, 2009 by Not Quite Nigella
Pin It

Whilst I’d love to say that “No koalas were harmed in the making of these cupcakes” I’m afraid I have to reveal the grisly truth. That in fact two of these furry creatures came crashing to the ground from the trees above when it came to capturing these images. This is possibly not what the RSPCA had in mind when they devised the RSPCA cupcake day

For those overseas readers, the RSPCA is the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and they also have a television show which will make an animal lover out of the the most hardened individual. It even got me feeling warm and fuzzy towards a family of bats. Today is the RSPCA’s Cupcake Day where keen bakers all over Australia bake cupcakes and raise money for the RSPCA. I decided on koalas a while back and thought that instead of a plain vanilla cupcake I’d use Lemon Myrtle just to upp the Australian-ness of it. The idea for these came from Clare Crespo’s Hey There, Cupcake! from which I’ve used many of her decorating suggestions for example, the panda and bear cupcakes.

I was also give an Beaterblade to test out which is an attachment suitable for Tilt Head Kitchenaid mixers. It’s similar to a paddle attachment but in a plastic cast with rubber scrapers attached to the end to help scrape the bowl more effectively and to help lessen the amount of times you need to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl. I figured this cupcake would be the ideal test and used it for both the cupcake batter and the buttercream. It did just as it was supposed to and I didn’t have to stop at all and scrape down the sides once and it was a dream to help beat the buttercream without having to stop, scrape and keep going again. I did think that it made the head of the Kitchenaid vibrate a bit more than a normal attachment so it would be interesting to see whether it has any long term effects on the Kitchenaid. Kim from Full Baked, the distributor of Beaterblade suggested adjusted the hinge pin like this.

Back to the Koalas. You’ll have to excuse the startled “Oh HAI!” expressions of the koalas. When sitting them up in the tree I needed to press in the eyes, noses and ears deep to prevent them from falling off. The cupcakes themselves are deliciously lemony with that distinctly gorgeous lemon myrtle flavour to them. The buttercream is soft and if you wanted to, you could add lemon myrtle to the buttercream too. My koalas are admittedly not quite as grey as I wanted but the black food colouring is somewhere in a box packed away. And yes I’m completely aware that they’re not sitting in gum trees. Once I was ready to take the photos, I started frantically running around like a diva saying “Where are the damn gum trees people? Someone I need gum trees!” to an empty house.

So tell me Dear Reader, if you could save one animal from extinction, which would it be and why?

Koala Cupcakes

An Original Recipe by Not Quite Nigella

Makes 12

Ingredients

125g/4ozs butter, softened
2 cups caster/superfine sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground lemon myrtle (or whatever flavour you’d like these to be e.g. vanilla)
2 eggs at room temperature
1 1/2 self-raising flour
1/2 cup milk

Buttercream

100g/3.5ozs butter, softened
3 cups icing sugar, sifted
1/4 cup milk
browney grey colouring (I couldn’t find my black colouring so my koalas ended up a bit more brown than grey)

To decorate

1/2 cup dessicated coconut
12 chocolate coated almonds
24 walnut halves
white fondant or small white chocolate buds for eyes
brown fondant or melted dark chocolate for eyes

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a tray with papers.

2. Cream the butter, sugar with an electric mixer. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until combined.

3. With a spatula, add half of the flour and then half of the milk and mix and then add the rest of the flour and milk.

4. Spoon batter evenly among the patty cases. Bake for 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cool.

5. For the buttercream, beat butter in a small bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy, beat in colouring and then sifted icing sugar and milk in two batches until fluffy.

Adding nose

6. To decorate:make eyes first but piping small circles of melted white chocolate on parchment or rolling small white balls of fondant. Then make little black dots out of chocolate fondant or pipe melted dark chocolate on top of the white chocolate to form eyes. If using chocolate, wait until set. If using fondant, use a little water to adhere the irises to the eyeballs.

Adding ears

7. Place a chocolate coated almond as a nose and then get two walnut halves that are about the same size and place as ears. Add eyes and then finish with a sprinkle of some dessicated coconut on top. I know I put the coconut on first but I think that prevented the nose and ears from fully sticking down so I suggest doing it last.

Adorable cupcakes!! We have and SPCA in Canada, but they don’t tend to do anything exciting like a cupcake day =D. Lovely idea, and love the Koalas!
2. Caitlin | August 17th, 2009 at 6:59 am | #

Oh so adorable! I love the walnut ears – too cute!
3. MrsDesperate | August 17th, 2009 at 7:26 am | #

How cute are these cupcakes! Guess what I’ll be making with the kids after school this afternoon? Thanks for sharing the recipe!
4. Katherine | August 17th, 2009 at 7:45 am | #

Lorraine the koala cupcakes are so cute. I love helping the RSPCA. It’s such a great cause.
5. Simon | August 17th, 2009 at 7:59 am | #

Nice idea with the cupcakes, especially with the lemon myrtle touch.
6. The Purple Foodie | August 17th, 2009 at 8:01 am | #

Oh my your koala cupcakes look sooo cute. I’d have to say, I’d want to save koalas from extinction because they’re too adorable not to have around.
7. Steph | August 17th, 2009 at 8:16 am | #

Ahhhhh soooo cuuuutteee!! I love it! The walnut ears are just ingenius! And I love the idea of making it more Australian with the lemon myrtle. *bows down to the master*
8. anna | August 17th, 2009 at 8:17 am | #

These are brilliant! So very cute! As for an endangered critter I’d like to save, besides ALL OF THEM, I’d have to go with whales or giant tortoise. Whales are just incredibly gorgeous and breath-taking and tortoises are close to my heart as I have a little guy as a pet.
9. sandra | August 17th, 2009 at 8:20 am | #

Wow they are very cute- almost as cute as the real thing. I couldnt choose which animal I would most like to save from extinction- its kinda like asking which is your favourite child
10. Anita | August 17th, 2009 at 8:20 am | #

These are so gorgeous – you’ve done a fantastic job!!
11. romaverona | August 17th, 2009 at 8:21 am | #

Thanks for the beaterblade review. Is it available commerically in Australia yet?

The koalas are too cute
12. Iron Chef Shellie | August 17th, 2009 at 8:29 am | #

Love it!!! so cute!!

I got the blade too! Although I got send the wrong one, so i’ll be doing my review shortly =)
13. Betty | August 17th, 2009 at 8:36 am | #

Aww these are so cute Lorraine! Hehe. And for a great cause too!
14. Rilsta | August 17th, 2009 at 9:09 am | #

OMG they are so adorable!! I love how you decorate your cupcakes so nicely!
15. Em | August 17th, 2009 at 9:17 am | #

I have much love for your Koalas, and I would love to have had the time to make my RSPCA cupcakes all pretty, but after making 300 in 2 days decorating becomes an impossibility!
16. Amanda | August 17th, 2009 at 9:26 am | #

HAHA!! They are AWESOME!! Nice work
17. Esz | August 17th, 2009 at 9:30 am | #

They’re so cute! I think the lemon myrtle would be such a nice flavour in a cupcake too.

The animal I would want to save is the snow leopard. They are so rare and elusive it breaks my heart that people still try to poach them! And you can’t help but want to snuggle that super soft floofy fur!

Though of course if given the chance I would save all big cats from extinction!
18. Trisha | August 17th, 2009 at 9:35 am | #

Hihihi so cute when i imagined the “OH HAI!!!” expressions. These are soooo wonderful! They really look indeed like koalas up in the gum tree! I’m so jealous of Steph’s and your mad decorating skills! And woohoo for RSPA cupcake day!
19. Annie | August 17th, 2009 at 9:42 am | #

Do’h! I made boxes full of cupcakes for today. My hubby took them to his work to sell (I work from home, only so many cupcakes one gal can eat). I didn’t even think to put an animal or Australiana theme to them. Oh well, I know the nerds in his I.T. area like my cooking. I cook on a regular basis for them and I think anything cute and/or Australian would be missed in the shoving in the mouth of the cake. I made mud with ganache, lemon meringue, rocky road and sticky date cupcakes. I have a tiny tiny oven and a tiny tiny kitchen, it took me all weekend but it felt good.
I’m hoping the Tassie Devil can be saved from the insidious cancer that affects them. I just rescued 2 pups from the pound. I’m no saint but I can’t stand animals suffering. My son thinks I’ll become like the crazy cat lady on “The Simpsons”. We have a lot of animals at our house.
Cheers.
20. Katie | August 17th, 2009 at 9:43 am | #

These are so cute! I love the idea of walnuts as ears (although I don’t actually eat walnuts!) – they are very realistic! In fact they may be just *too* cute to eat!
21. Marg | August 17th, 2009 at 9:47 am | #

I love your blog, and refer to it often. I have only one issue, and it’s probably a website one, but the pull down menus don’t show the whole text. Apart from that, I love this site. Keep up the great reviews. Marg
22. Anna D | August 17th, 2009 at 9:48 am | #

These are so cute…how could anyone want to eat one?
23. shaz | August 17th, 2009 at 9:57 am | #

ha ha ha ha ha…that just made my morning, they are so cute! Didn’t even know the RSPCA had a cupcake day. Lemon myrtle flavoured cupcakes sounds delicious, where did you get the lemon myrtle from? I remember looking for it once and it was quite hard to find.
24. Wilkie | August 17th, 2009 at 10:05 am | #

Love it! Priceless expressions. You really are talented!
25. asti | August 17th, 2009 at 10:19 am | #

that is just the cutest thing I have ever seen! thanks so much for reviewing the beaterblade, I have been eyeing on that for a while, but I was quite skeptical. I think I might get it now, seeing that it actually worked.
26. Cakelaw | August 17th, 2009 at 11:04 am | #

These are the cutest cupcakes I have seen for a long time! And a worthy cause too.
27. Zam | August 17th, 2009 at 11:04 am | #

Brilliant! What a clever idea, using walnuts for koala ears! I just put tiny teddies on the tops of my cupcakes for today (hummingbird cupcakes w/marmalade frosting, and peanut butter cupcakes w/PB frosting)

I love Komodo dragons – I don’t think they’re endangered though, but ‘vulnerable’ – I just think they’re really cool!
28. Caz | August 17th, 2009 at 11:13 am | #

Such a cute idea! And for a great cause!
29. Barbara | August 17th, 2009 at 12:10 pm | #

These are beyond adorable!
30. Anh | August 17th, 2009 at 12:18 pm | #

Oh my god, the cupcakes are so cute and so Australian! Love love them!
31. Laura | August 17th, 2009 at 12:40 pm | #

Oh these are the cutest cupcakes ever! I can’t get over how perfectly they look like koalas, while still looking like they were decorated with walnuts and candy coated almonds. Sometimes cupcakes or cakes are overdecorated to the point that they don’t look edible. But, these look like food and like koalas at the same time. Just genius.
I AM going to make these with my kids.
32. Min Ai | August 17th, 2009 at 1:05 pm | #

Aww.. these are so cute and a great idea! We had a bake sale today at work for RSPCA day too and it was a blast!
33. Alexandra | August 17th, 2009 at 1:05 pm | #

hahaha…I love your creativity! These are so cute…and it’s cool that you even found trees for them eventho they weren’t gum trees
34. Jetlagmama | August 17th, 2009 at 1:10 pm | #

They are hilarious! Well done.
I can’t believe I forgot about cupcake day. We live for cupcakes.Love the look of that scraper too.
35. foodie-central | August 17th, 2009 at 1:11 pm | #

Oh my.. they are so cute! I would buy this up in a jiff..
36. Sophia | August 17th, 2009 at 1:27 pm | #

Oh! how delightful! So creative and cute and absolutely whimsical! If there was one animal I could save from extinction…it would be penguins…because they are so god-damned cute!
37. Nicole Naunton | August 17th, 2009 at 2:52 pm | #

They’re really cute!
38. anna | August 17th, 2009 at 4:29 pm | #

gorgeous looking cupcakes.. would have been a cool idea to make them vegan to really make them ‘cruelty free”.
39. grace | August 17th, 2009 at 5:49 pm | #

I’ll buy one!!!! You can send it in the mail!!! I’ll do the same with the money!!!
40. Fiona | August 17th, 2009 at 5:49 pm | #

too cute! Why are cupcakes always so much more awesome than cake cakes?
41. Parita | August 17th, 2009 at 6:59 pm | #

Oh my these are so cute and adorable!
42. Elaine Oliver | August 17th, 2009 at 7:59 pm | #

Awwwww truly awesome…you’ve come up with a bobby dazzler of a cupcake!!!
43. tuulikki | August 17th, 2009 at 8:29 pm | #

Your little koalas climbing a tree look lovely and the photo is beautiful and it makes me to feel good as it carries an important message against cruelty to animals!
44. Arwen from Hoglet K | August 17th, 2009 at 9:38 pm | #

The lemon myrtle is a nice touch – makes them extra australian. The ears are really cute!
45. Simon Food Favourite | August 17th, 2009 at 10:12 pm | #

hehe brilliant. and so appropriately Aussie! well done.
46. Panda | August 17th, 2009 at 10:19 pm | #

your koala cupcakes are gorgeous! i’ve made koala cupcakes before too and i had the same issue, didn’t have grey colouring around so ended up making brown ones, only thing was i went for a dark chocolate brown so my koalas looked a bit burnt!
47. FFichiban | August 17th, 2009 at 10:44 pm | #

Hee hee these are sooo cutttee!! but pity about the ones that fell!!
48. Erin | August 17th, 2009 at 10:59 pm | #

Too cute!

I think I need to make these for Australia Day or something.
49. lisaiscooking | August 17th, 2009 at 11:21 pm | #

Cupcake day is a great idea! The walnut ears are just perfect.
50. Conor @ HoldtheBeef | August 17th, 2009 at 11:26 pm | #

Super cute! I think I might have to copy these next year with my menagerie

It’s so nice to see so many simultaneous cupcake makings/eatings/indulgings today (although I must admit I’m feeling a little ill from having just got stuck into some leftover frosting with some leftover Oreo pieces).
51. Jacq | August 18th, 2009 at 12:41 am | #

Cute cupcakes! I love the ideas in “Hello, Cupcake!” – my sister bought me the book for my birthday but I’ve yet to make anything from it, even though their creations are so adorable. Great idea to put them in a tree for photos as well
52. nora@ffr | August 18th, 2009 at 12:51 am | #

pretty looking cup cakes!! superb!
53. deeba | August 18th, 2009 at 1:31 am | #

You are preciously creative…genius!! What adorable cupcakes!
54. grace | August 18th, 2009 at 1:45 am | #

just one? i could never pick just one animal to save! lordy, lorraine, these cupcakes are adorable, and a wonderful tribute to a creature i’ve yet to see in person but adore anyway.
55. pigpigscorner | August 18th, 2009 at 2:03 am | #

awww they are so cute! Love the walnut ears!
56. felicia | August 18th, 2009 at 2:04 am | #

these are SO SO SO SO CUTE!
walnuts are koalas ears are just genius.
and i wanna get a beater blade!
heh. awesome post.
57. Jamie | August 18th, 2009 at 2:09 am | #

These are way too cute! Would have to close my eyes to take a bite! And yes, they look a bit like a deer caught in the headlights!
58. Libby Murphy | August 18th, 2009 at 4:20 am | #

Oh they don’t even have to taste good, but I’m sure they are delicious. That is the cutest cupcake I have seen in a long time.
Happy Twirls from the US
59. BethieofVA | August 18th, 2009 at 4:22 am | #

LOL!! My daughter and I squealed together in delight when we saw these. They are fantastic!!!
60. Faith | August 18th, 2009 at 6:07 am | #

What a great cause to bake for! Your koala cupcakes are such an adorable idea!
61. Magdalena | August 18th, 2009 at 6:19 am | #

Awww… super cute ♥ I absolutely love them
Thanks a million for sharing!
62. Elle | August 18th, 2009 at 7:26 am | #

Oh my gosh, they’re adorable! And such a good cause, too. Stinks they fell out of the tree, though. Damn!
63. Julia @ Mélanger | August 18th, 2009 at 7:39 am | #

Awwww, these are so cute. I didn’t make the cupcake day!
64. 5 Star Foodie | August 18th, 2009 at 7:54 am | #

Wow, those are so cute and I love the picture of them in a tree!
65. Matilda | August 18th, 2009 at 8:26 am | #

Too,Too, cute Lorraine.
66. spice and more | August 18th, 2009 at 10:07 am | #

oh my, these are sooooo cute! And the lemon myrtle sounds lovely too. Can I have one now with my morning coffee please?!!!
67. Johanna | August 18th, 2009 at 11:47 am | #

fantastic – those koalas look great – I agree they probably could be greyer but then might not go so well with the walnut ears – I am looking forward to trying these – have been making koala bikkies yesterday – but would love to try with some Aussie spices next time I do them
68. Yas | August 18th, 2009 at 11:28 pm | #

Hehe very cute and nice idea using walnuts as their ears!
69. Lisa | August 19th, 2009 at 3:37 am | #

Those cupcakes are some of the cutest cupcakes I’ve ever seen, and I love how you photographed them in the tree! Hello, Cupcake is a book I’ve had on my Amazon wish list for a while now. I think it’s time! Also, love that you made these in order to help in preventing crulety to all animals. I’m a staunch supporter of that.

Finally, I’ve heard about this beater blade for the KA mixer, and want it badly. MY KA already shakes and quivers no matter which beater, whip, hook I use to mix, knead etc. It’s definitely been ‘used’ well..lol
70. Sandie | August 19th, 2009 at 4:31 am | #

Goodness these cupcakes are cute! And your disclaimer at the beginning of this post is hilarious. What animal would I save from extinction? Probably the giant panda, they’re just so darn unique!
71. Ladybird | August 19th, 2009 at 9:33 am | #

Wow, very nice Lorraine I hope you have entered your little koalas into the RSPCA Cupcake Decorating competition!
72. Soma | August 20th, 2009 at 1:15 am | #

Those are just the cutest. how did you make them sit on a tree? or is it a prop you have at home?
73. isa | August 20th, 2009 at 5:40 am | #

They are so cute! I really love the picture of them in the tree!
74. Betty | August 20th, 2009 at 5:46 am | #

Awesome website!!! Love the photos and great information-thanks,Betty
75. Brenda | August 20th, 2009 at 11:43 am | #

A job well done! They look fantastic and what a great cause too

77. Cate | August 20th, 2009 at 8:04 pm | #

NQN – See Rose’s blog re: the beater blade and tightening the hinge pin on the KA mixer. (Rose provides the link to the KA site which shows you how. IMHO you need to tighten the KA hinge pin periodically anyway especially if you use recipes requiring long beating times.
78. Wizzy | August 23rd, 2009 at 1:44 pm | #

Oh these are adorable and look way easier than some bear muffins that I made for my toddler last year. Love how you have them hanging around in trees:-)
79. drawforjoy | August 27th, 2009 at 6:40 pm | #

This is really an original recipe.
It looks great and a I think it’s also delicious.
I have one of my own, with watermelon, but it is a joke.
80. Bek @ Crave | January 26th, 2013 at 12:10 pm | #

Haha omg cupcakes stop being so darn cute.
