Cupcakes


This post isn't so much a specific recipe, as it is a great idea for a kid's birthday party. Here is an idea which has dual purpose: set up a cupcake bar! Party attendees will still enjoy their cake, and, in addition, is another means of keeping children occupied during the party. First, prepare ready-made cake mix in advance and ice them; display on a decorative trays, cake stands, or cupcake stands. Remember to insert the candles into each cake and have your guests sing ‘Happy Birthday’ prior to the decorating frenzy. Second, set out various toppings such as glitter sprinkles, sugar-shapes, gummy bears and chocolate candies; the possibilities are endless and all items are readily available at your local bulk store. Third, have a fabulous time decorating your custom cupcakes, you’ll find adults gravitating to the bar also. Please note, toothbrushes should be included in loot bags; otherwise, parents may be cursing their dental bill!
