Cupcakes for Mothers Day

This is what we made yesterday, The plan is to make four of them and put them in a cupcake box from the pound shop and the children can give them to their Mums for Mothers day. It's very easy to make them the ones above were made by a five and a six year old.

This is what you need:
 I bought a pack of 12 fairy cakes from Aldi for a pound, you could make them using a Victoria sandwich receipe but we wanted to do this quickly. A bag of mini marshmallows, 40p from B&M's, some granulated sugar coloured with a few drops of food colouring, some food pearls or silver dragees and some butter icing (4oz butter mixed with 8oz of icing sugar).
.

First of all cut the marshmallows in half diagonally

Then remove the disc of icing from the fairy cake and eat it. Cover the top with butter icing.
Place three pearls or dragees in the centre of each cake.

Then dip the cut side of each marshmallow in the sugar and place six around the centre pearls then another twelve around those.






Finished!
