VALENTINE'S DAY CUPCAKES
Today I thought I'd show you how to make my cute little Valentine's Day Cupcakes! These are sooooo easy that I am going to make 50 for my daughters class!
First of all, bake a batch of regular sized cupcakes of your choice. I made triple chocolate chip! Yum!
 |
| No…...I didn't eat the missing cupcake! |
 |
| See? Here he is! = ) |
 |
| You make the coloured sugar in whichever colour you want….I mixed Pillar Box Red and Rose Pink for a really cool coral colour! |
 |
| Ice your cupcakes, I cheated and used Betty Crocker's Vanilla Icing….how can something so bad for you taste so good? : / |
 |
| Sprinkle cupcake with your coloured sugar…..oooooh! Sparkly! |
 |
| Pop into your cupcake wrapper and pop in the topper (I must confess, I find it easier to do this BEFORE icing!) Use your own judgement. |
 |
| A pic up of how your cupcake should look…! Yum! |
 |
| A little styling and you're set to be a star! You'll knock everyone's socks off with these professional looking cupcakes! Now, how easy was THAT?! ; ) Make them any size you want….this one is a mini, just shrink the wrapper and topper to whatever size you like…..TA….DA!!! |
SAFARI CUPCAKES
Want a ROAR….ing good party? These adorable little Safari animal enclosure cupcakes are just the thing you need!
They are so easy to make too! All you need is a cupcake (or well, enough for everyone….) a tub of Betty Crocker's Chocolate Frosting, Desiccated Coconut, Food Colouring and my little Safari Cupcake Wrappers and Toppers…available in my shop.
So we'll start off much like before…..first, the cupcake….
 |
Pretty underwhelming right? Even this sad little cupcake can look like a star!
|
 |
| Just get a knife and spread some frosting over the cupcake…make sure you cover all the edges! |
 |
| Get some regular desiccated coconut and add a couple of drops of yellow and a drop or so of green to get a realistic grass colour, mix well, if needs be add a tiny bit of water to mix in the colour, if you do this just dry the coconut out in the oven or microwave for a few minutes, but be careful it doesn't toast or burn! |
 |
| Holding it carefully upside down, dip the cupcake into the coloured coconut, make sure all the frosting is covered. |
 |
| Push in your cupcake toppers for your very own safari enclosure! I love the little hut, but I cut off the monkey to make it part of the toucans enclosure. |
 |
| Here our friendly little snake is saying hello! |
 |
| The giraffe is my favourite! He's just so cute!! So there you go! Your completed cupcake! Now all you need is some styling and your party will be complete! |
