Answers: My son's classmate is deathly allergic to eggs but I still would like to send off a classroom treat that she can have. I've asked this before but would like to see some more thoughtful answers. I don't want jello or rice krispies treats, obviously as there are tons of chemicals in those. I'm looking for cakes or cupcake recipes, 100% from scratch, and kid-cute.

These aren't cakes or cupcakes but you could make "dirt" in the cupcake pan w'liners. If you put in a gummy worm they love it.

You could do ants on a log which is celery with peanut butter and raisins, or you could get some eggless bread and make little chocolate sandwiches with strawberries and bananas in them. You could even make a face with them like the bananas for eyes chocolate for eyebrows and then a sliced strawberry for a mouth.
