I am making cupcakes for a boys 6yr old party and am looking for some different ways to decorate them !.!.!. Any ideas anyone !?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I just love decorating cupcakes for kids!. Boys can be a bit more challenging that for girls!.

Make spiders: Ice cake and then get some thin licorice and cut into legs 8 & 2 small fangs for each cake!. Place legs on opposite sides ot cake & fangs where mouth should be!. Get 2 smarties or similar (m&m's) and use for eyes!.

An eyeball cake: 1 large marshmallow, 1 giant Smartie!. for each cake!. Ice cake and then trim top of marshmallow & place in centre for white of eye!. Place smartie on top of marshmallow (pupil) and then with decorating gel make squiggly lines (veins) out from marshmallow to edge of cake!.

Snake cakes!. Cut small hollow from centre of cake, then spread with icing!. Position ends of snakes in hollow!. Put eyes on snakes with cake gel

Bat cakes: Jelly beans and licorice are needed!. Ice cakes!. Use jelly bean for body, cut 2 wings out of strip licorice and place either side of body!. Using white gel make 2 dots for eyes, then black for pupils!.

Ghost cakes: Ice cakes, Using milk bottle lollies cut into shape of ghosts, place on cake!. Make 2 dots on milk bottles (ghosts) using black decorating gel!.

Hope some of these may be useful!. Have a good party!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I've made cupcakes for my boys many times!.
Favorite decor were teddy bear picnic(green icing, teddy grahams and paper drink umbrellas) spiders with lots of licorice legs, dirt(crushed oreos) and worm(gummy) cupcakes and more recently, from a wonderful book called 'Hello Cupcake', spaghetti and meatball cupcakes(tint frosting light beige and put in ziploc bag, make a tiny slice off corner and squeeze out your spaghetti over the cupcakes!. Buy rocher ferraro chocolate balls, unwrap and place in a bowl with Smuckers Low sugar strawberry jam!. Mix until balls are coated!. Add a ball and sauce to the top of each cupcake!. Grate a bit of white chocolate over each if you want 'cheese'

how about letting them decide!.

Make the cup cakes and icing

Have them spread the icing on the cup cakes and them let them dip

then have a variety of toppings they can dip them in!.
sprinkles of all colours, chocolate
broken chocolate bars,
sour candies
whatever candies you know the boys will like!.

Then take a picture of each boy with their creation and give ethe picture as a thank you card!.
