CHRISTMAS REINDEERS CUPCAKE

Remember to look at the cake store and the archives for more recipes and decorating ideas.

In this Christmas idea I have taken one of the painted cupcakes and added lots of the reindeer cupcakes on to it using photoshop. It is like a vast herd of reindeer cupcakes on a planet.

REINDEER CHRISTMAS CUPCAKES

These pictures show some art created in Lapland. I collected these on a visit to Finland. I like the black drawings which show reindeer, people and the environment. I decided to use these for a cupcakes design.
I iced the cupcakes white. I then took a small painting brush and painted the cupcakes using food colouring. I put a small amount of red, blue, yellow and black on a plate. I had water to dilute the colour and rinse the brush.

The colours remind me of watercolour paintings. They look like planets and landscapes.
When the colours had gone dry I used black writing icing to draw the images from the pictures onto the cupcakes. I think these are interesting and a new way of showing the Christmas Lapland reindeers and their environment.

PANDA AND POLAR BEAR CUPCAKES

These cupcakes use the Sherry Cupcake recipe, where 2oz--3 tablespoons of sultanas which have been soaked in sherry overnight are added to the cupcake mixture or you can use the chocolate cupcake recipe . Whatever your favourite is.
Ingredients
Cupcakes
Coconut grated
White icing
Black writing icing
Chocolate buttons
Method
Make your cupcakes. Ice with white icing. Before it sets add some chocolate buttons for the ears and then sprinkle coconut onto the surface of the icing. Gently press in with your hand and just shake off any that is loose.
Use some black writing icing to put on the bears features. I expect children would enjoy making these and inventing new faces for the bears.
