Cabin Fever? Decorate Cupcakes!

• Related • Filed Under •

Do you have winter cabin fever? Cupcake decorating is a fun way to entertain children. It can be as simple as a box of cake mix, can of frosting and jar of sprinkles or you can follow the recipe below for quick white cupcakes.

 

After the baking fun, give each child a few plain cupcakes and decorations: colored frosting tubes, candies, sprinkles, jimmies, fresh fruit, gummies, red hots. Let them decorate and design their own cupcakes. Most drug and grocery stores have out a variety of red and pink candies for Valentine’s Day (even pink and red candy corn).

I found the cutest cupcakes while looking for cupcake ideas.
