Cooking with Children: Sail Boat Cupcakes
Whether you're throwing a birthday party or just celebrating summer, these sail-boat-shaped cupcakes are sure a delicious activity to keep children busy and get the little help you may need; for example, have them choose the colors of the sail boats (the colors in the image are just a suggestion). These summer treats are easy to make, and as you will find out, also fun for kids to prepare and eat, of course! Below are what you need and how to prepare it.
Crafting Time: Varies with experience.
Skill Level: 1 being the easiest
What you need:
- Standard Muffin Pan
- Standard Baking Cups, White
- Butter cream Icing
- Decorating Tip No. 5
- Icing Color, Royal Blue
- Icing Color, Red-Red
- Icing Color, Christmas Red
- Lollipop Sticks, 4-inch
- Tapered Spatula
- Construction paper, white Cellophane tape
- Corn starch
Due to the seasonal nature of some merchandise, actual availability of some products pictured may vary in your local crafts store.
How to prepare:
Please note the following color combinations: Combine red-red and Christmas red to achieve the shade of red shown.
1. Bake and cool the cupcakes.
2. Ice fluffy with the spatula to resemble water.
3. Pipe in tip No. 5 oval boat bottom shape on the top of the cupcake (smooth with finger dipped in cornstarch). Outline the shape with tip No. 5 and overpipe two more times to build up the boat sides.
4. Cut the sail shapes from construction paper and tape to the lollipop stick; insert into the boat on the cupcake to finish. Each cupcake serves 1.
Baking can be colorful and fun this summer!
