Last week the kids had a theme day. We have a several of them every month. Last week's theme day was "Teddy bear Picnic". All of the kids brought in their teddy bears, and we ate lunch outside and called it a picnic. The kids had a blast, as did the adults!!
For this special occasion I decided to bake some special treats. I made teacup cupcakes. Basically I took ice cream cones and cut the bottom off, and then i used melted chocolate and "glued" them to a digestive cookie. I thin cut some sour peach rings in half and glued them to the side of the cones. I baked zebra cupcakes (chocolate and vanilla all in one cupcake) and the crumbled the bottom part of the cupcakes into the cone and used icing to stick the top of the cupcake to the top of the cone. I put them in the fridge over night and them brought them to work the next day to let the kids decorate.
We used pink strawberry frosting and lots of sprinkles. The finishing touch was lots and lots of gummy bears. Needless to say the kids snacked more on the candy, than use it to decorate. Regardless of the gummy bears being in their tummy or on the cupcake, the kids had a blast and I did too!!
Try out my "teacup cupcakes" and let me know how yours turned out! They are super simple and super fun. Happy baking!! :)
