Cute little edible penguin hors d’oeuvres

I’m trying to think of a frozen, slushy martini recipe that these olive penguins would go well with. They would also, I think, be a nice adornment to the right kind of salad, or you could just plop a whole group of them on a white plate as a fun appetizer.

Anyway, I think they’re pretty self-explanatory from the pictures above, which are from mattea.tanner’s Flickr stream, but if you want step-by-step instructions, try these ones.

Essentially, the carrot slice gets turned into the nose and feet, the two olives make the body and the head. The white stomach can be made from either cream cheese or mozzarella.
