Cupcakes















Super easy and big impact!

You'll need:
Cupcakes
Frosting
Food coloring or icing color
Star tip and pastry bag
Cookies such as Mini Chips Ahoy or regular Chips Ahoy cut in half
Brown M&M's
White disc candy such as white chocolate melts (use the flat side)

First, cut a slit into the cupcake.

2. Insert cookie and start icing with a small star tip. The picture above is from a different cupcake and appears to be dyed coconut, which is also an option. Dyed coconut would give a shaggier look, but also remember that, if serving these at a party, coconut is a hit or miss. Lots of people don't like it however, most children could care less! LOL

3. Attach the brown M&M (pupils) to the white disks by either "gluing" together with a dab of frosting.

4. Stick the eyes down into the cupcake.

Done!



Great idea for the little one's or the kid at heart...No recipe, but sure it is easy to achieve...

Gingerbread Cake Recipe

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups AP flour
1/2 cup butter, melted (for lower fat, use applesauce)
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup molasses
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 1/2 teaspoons ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg

Icing
Betty Crocker pre-made sugar cookie frosting or
1 cup powdered sugar mixed with a few teaspoons of milk

Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil and lightly flour your baking dish. Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and all spices in a large bowl. Whisk or sift well to combine. Add butter, milk, molasses and egg. Whisk by hand or with an electric beater on low for 2 – 3 minutes, or until batter is almost smooth.

Pour batter in baking dish, but not more than 3/4 full. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted.

Cool completely before icing. Either use pre-made icing, or a little milk mixed with powdered sugar. You can use a Ziploc baggy with the corner cut away as a pipping bag.
