Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Eyes:

Place the malt balls cut-side up on a work surface. Top each ball with white sprinkles, securing them with cream. Glue a mini chocolate chip to each white sprinkle. Set aside.
Ears:

Unwrap the caramels and flatten them with your fingers. If they are too hard, microwave them for 5-10 seconds. Use scissors to cut each caramel into 2 small triangles. Frost one side of each triangle and sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles. Set aside.

Beaks:

Place the yellow gumdrops upright on the table. Use scissors to cut each one exactly three-quarters of the way through to create an open beak. Use scissors to shape the beak into a pointed shape.
Assembly:

Cover each cupcake with about 2 tablespoons of buttercream. Place chocolate sprinkles in a small bowl. Lightly press each cupcake with the frosting to adhere the sprinkles. Attach the eyes and beak with a small amount of frosting. Press the ears into the edges of the cupcake. Decorate the remaining cupcakes in the same manner.
