Cupcake making for kids!

It was with much fun that we had the pleasure of 'testing' a cupcake kit for kids

for our local Whitcoulls bookstore!
First, we make a batch of vanilla cupcakes
and let them cool before icing them.

You can use your favourite vanilla cupcake recipe or a bought box mix.

 The kit had the smallest rolling pin you've ever seen in it...

cute little cutters, and fondant in pink, yellow, white and blue.

This kit is quite educational, too.
With fondant in primary colours mixed to make new colours,

Yellow + blue = green...
So that's a bit of colour science, isn't it?

 The fondant passed the taste test.

Kids would love the different flavours...

 Pink strawberry was the best!

 The little cupcake stand was a trick to get the cupcakes on...

But this was the end result.

Cupcake making with fondant icing.

Now there's an idea to keep the children entertained 
during the weekend,
or holidays!

Use dyes and flavours with plain fondant on your homemade cupcakes, if you can't find a kit.
