Last Wednesday was Sarah's fourth birthday and we had several of her friends over for a party. There was no real theme and no real games. Just a craft and a pinata.But I did make the cutest cupcakes and thought I would share them with you.
Ingredients:
1 box of cupcake mix
2 tubs of frosting
2 boxes of ice cream cones
Decorative Candy - sprinkles, colored Twizzlers, pull-apart Twizzlers, gum drops, candy fruit slices
Directions:
Prepare the cupcake mix according to directions on box.
Fill ice cream cones about 3/4 full.
Place filled cups in mini muffin pan.
***Please note - after these are baked and decorated, they will be top heavy and will be subject to tipping over. I speak from experience. Be very careful!***
Bake 15-20 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
Frost generously when cupcakes have cooled.
Then cover with sprinkles and top with half of a gum drop.
If you are feeling extra crafty, you can even decorate with other candy to make all sorts of designs.
Sarah had chosen a butterfly pinata so I attempted to make some butterflies on top of the cupcakes.
I cut candy fruit slices in half for the wings. And used colored Twizzlers for the body. (You could also use gummy worms...that might look more realistic.) Then I cut little bits of pull-apart Twizzlers for the antenna.
They were easy to make and the kids loved them and that works for me!For more Works For Me Wednesday tips and tricks, head over to Shannon's place.

They were soooo good. And they were so cute.
Thank you for posting this along with pictures. My daughter's birthday is approaching and I have been thinking about what kind of cake to make for her
My friend made these for her girl and was telling me about them. I loved the idea but was a little nervous about how they would turn out.
Now I have a good idea of how they will turn out. Thanks again!
Those are adorable and easy to make. I'll have to remember that for Hope's bday!!
I can't begin to tell you how adorable these are! Maybe for my daughter's 4th birthday next March I can do something like this!
