QUIRKY CUPCAKES FOR KIDS

There is so much creative & new ideas to get inspired & fun to be had planning children s parties, armed with inspiration & cupcakes. A truly magical day theme can easily & creatively take place without placing to much strain on ones budget.
Consider the following for inspiration.

SHEEP CUPCAKE:
Vanilla cupcake using mini white marshmallows to create the wool & one pink marshmallow to for the nose icing to create eyes & nostrils.

PIGGIE CUPCAKE:
Pink cupcake with pink marshmallows for ears & nose.Brown smarties for eyes.

CLOWN CUPCAKE:
Vanilla cupcake with a scoop of ice-cream with an ice-cream cone on top of ice-cream upside down(think ice-cream upside down on cupcake like a clown hat)smarties for eyes, a cherry for the nose & jelly tots for the collar around the edge of the cupcake.

BIRDS NEST CUPCAKES:
Chocolate cupcake with flake sprinkled liberally to create a 'nest' texture.Pre-made birds out of icing sugar on top, along with birds eggs made
out of candy.

BUTTERFLY CUPCAKES:
Pink cupcake. Using vanilla icing make the shape of each wing on wax paper, then freeze.Use a pink jelly-tot for the head. & a jelly worm for the body, attach wings.
(this one is truly a favourite as it takes no extra time & would make many a
little girls day).

PLACE-MAT CUPCAKE:
Vanilla cupcakes. For each child use a different colour icing along with a candle with a letter of the alphabet for each child's name( eg; Johnny- blue cupcake with the letter 'J'). Another idea is to make cupcakes for someones birthday decorated with their favourite colour & their name spelled out. Also, children could have a variety of coloured icing sugar to choose from, with different sweets & sprinkles. Making their own cupcake. Pictures of each cupcake could be taken with a message written from each child for the birthday boy/girl, its a great way to record memories.

SPIDER CUPCAKE FOR BOYS:
Chocolate cupcake. Green Astros for eyes, strings of liquorish for legs on each side.

PRINCESS/BARBIE CUPCAKES:
Pink cupcakes.Use rice paper to trace out a three-point crown. Coat with lemon juice & refrigerate till hard. Put a shiny pink sprinkle on each point using
a tiny dot of icing.Place crown on top of cupcake by pushing it into the icing(be liberal with the icing to make the crown stand).

TEDDIE CUPCAKES:
Any flavoured cupcake (depends on what colour you want your teddies to be).
Open a small biscuit (cookie), use each side as an ear. Use Brown smarties for eyes or Astros. cut a pink marshmallow for the nose & icing sugar for the mouth.

CUPCAKE FLOWERS:
Lemon & Strawberry cupcakes. Arrange a lemon cupcake in the centre & the pink cupcakes around as 'petals'. Decorate with Jelly-tots or sprinkles as you desire. The creativ decor ideas are endless, for more Click Here!
