| Earth Day cupcake topped with a little happy sunshine! |
I can't take full credit for these cupcakes. A friend of mine, who is very crafty with cupcakes, made these earth cupcakes for church for Earth Day and I asked her if I could copy the idea. She gave me the go ahead. Hers were the two toned cupcake, with the fluffy icing clouds and star cake confetti. I added the sunshine to differ mine from hers. I used a golden cake mix because that is all I had in the house but a white cake mix would have been better. First you make the batter and then put it in 2 bowls and add green and blue food colouring. I then used a spoon and alternated putting some batter in the cupcake liners. Baked it. Iced it with clouds. Put a few stars on each cake and then put on my assembled sunshine. The sunshine is just a banana saltwater taffy with pretzel halves dipped in a bit a chocolate to help 'glue' them in. You do need to twist the pretzels a bit to help secure them to the taffy. I then added a smiley face with my food markers..... just for fun! A perfect earth day treat!
